In the past, I have use a wireless mouse: you need batteries to operate a
wireless mouse. Most computer mouses in sale in computer shops are now
(unfortunately) wireless. But the thing is: batteries never last more than 6
months. So, let's say your batteries get weak and now your mouse no longer
responds, no longer operates. Then what? This really and actually happened to
me. I remember I was able to work with the keyboard only in a minority of
situations on the web but not in a majority of situations on the web. This lead
me to change my purchase habits: I now only and always buy a mouse with a wire
so that I never depend on, rely on batteries for my mouse to work.

Accessibility is just thinking about a wider range of possible situations and
possible contexts from the user's point of view and still be able to perform
tasks successfully. What if that LibreOffice user does not have a mouse with a
wheel? What if that LibreOffice user has a mouse with a wheel but, on some
important day for that user, his mouse batteries go too weak: will (s)he be
still able to complete his tasks with only the keyboard? or with only the LO
interface?
