We can get upset about how they're locking out users with PDAs and

Actually, I tend to think that the real problem is that a decision
*wasn't* made, but a 'path of least resistance' taken, in the face of
ignorance[1]
The OP's clients aren't saying 'we've looked at all this standards
stuff and have decided that a maintenance intensive, non-accessible,
more expensive production is for us!' That would be a decision (and,
yes, a strange one). Instead, they are saying 'we should what? huh?
never heard of that! why should we? These experts we've paid lots of
money too say thats not right'.
Waving the
regulatory flag won't coerce these people into compliance
but I generally agree with the rest of what you've said :)
