I think the problem with that I grill thermometer is that it started out as a small company. And I recall several years ago when they really did understand about Accessibility. Obviously, based on the name, they have been bought by Weber. A bigger company. Who doesn’t give a damn about Accessibility.I certainly agree that at least in theory, if you buy something with an app and it’s accessible, then it becomes inaccessible the company should have to buy it back from you for what you paid for it if not more, becausethey have just screwed up a part of your life. Somehow, I am pretty sure that’s not going to happen in the age of rampant super rich free market capitalism.
