Well assuming your point was support for "usual screen readers", then yeah, it kinda is. NVDA has wider adoption than JAWS nowadays (see recent webAIM surveys).
I think it's also worth keeping in mind at times like these that the JAWS ULA precludes a demo version of JAWS being used to develop or test for accessibility, which creates a chicken and egg situation. Supporting JAWS is an expensive endeavour because of the terms of its ULA. If none of the users who want JAWS support step up to fund it (at least in part), how does that expense get covered? I'm honestly not attempting to shame you into funding the project Justin, I've got no stake in the outcome either way, just pointing out how the land lies.
