Just to offer my perspective and one you may not be considering, being thankful and appreciative does not mean having to give up any expectation of standards or things being correct. Yes I am extremely appreciative and I'm sure others are as well that we get access and it makes a world of difference. I give them much credit for that and it changes a lot! However, accessibility should not completely have to be viewed as a charity and I can assure you that is not why it is done anyway. Being thankful and having an expectation of quality can and for me will coexist and I do not think it is at all fare to say one is obligated to give up any expectations of quality in the name of being thankful. Yes if your friend does something for you then you do not slap them in the face because it wasn't done just how you wanted it or to the extent you wanted it to be done. They are giving more like it is a charitable thing. To say that is the case with a company is to say we are second rate and should only have any expectation of anything that someone wants to give above and beyond anything they would normally or rightfully do. Yes the two blend to an extent and yes definitely be thankful, but do not say someone is being rude to have any quality expectation in this context.
