I'm not a hardware/software engineer, designer, whatever ...
But rather than make the OEM responsible for full compliance with this, would it be possible to require them to make devices that will accommodate 3rd party modifications to the devices that do make them compliant and useful for those with accessibility needs?
Much like car manufacturers don't have to provide vehicles with special hand or foot controls. (But I'm sure if their vehicles could not be properly modified in the after-market there would be some regulation to prevent that.)
I'm sure Amazon, et. al. would dislike this idea as well, but it seems to be a better fit for both them and consumers of all abilities.
