The task
Every AI produces a data grid with role="grid" and correct ARIA attributes that passes axe with zero violations and is miserable to actually use with NVDA.
I am a screen reader user. I will judge this by using it. The criteria below are behavioural, not attribute checklists.
The distinction
Passing an automated audit and being usable are different things, and the gap between them is where almost all accessibility work actually lives.
