oh no, I have absolutely no complaint. I 100% support the ADA and think it is incredibly underused. The way we treat people who are disabled in this country is morally indefensible. The ADA doesn't go nearly far enough, and the burden should not be on the person who needs access.

The problem in this case is the rammifications are not always more accessibility, in fact they are often less accessibility and even less availability. It's not dissimilar to copyright trolls and striking youtube videos that happened to have happy birthday playing in the background. The frivolous label gets applied and undermines greater accessibility.
An example of where this can go bad:
1) Materials that are not accessible are taken down under threat of lawsuit, now its not available to anyone. Could they have been made accessible? Sure! did anyone ask...or did they start with a lawsuit? - https://www.theledger.com/news/20190420/ada-compliance-polk-...

2) when assholes are assholes and use the ADA, everyone else now has to counter arguments saying they are trying to personally profit - https://attorneyatlawmagazine.com/ada-trolls-and-unintended-...
