Whilst this is a chicken/egg question, the simple reality is that the government agencies that provide a11y tools and solutions, sub-contract training out, and if they don't have an NVDA trainer in their list of approved and authorized vendors, they won't provide NVDA. That FLOSS is destructive to those government agencies, is yet another reason why they are reluctant to provide FLOSS. ### There is a Windows 10 S to Pro free conversion for those requiring accessible assistive software, which gives one an enhanced version of Narrator.
