Are wheelchair ramps an example of cutting-edge / frontier technology in this metaphor? Shouldn't society catch up a little before announcing that a technology becomes a standard? Why shouldn't an advanced AI Siri guide any blind or deaf person through any institution, store, or software experience?

In this situation we are in fact saying that a large volume of user-submitted or professional porn should not be accessible because it might not be worth the money to transcribe. I don't think any stores are closing because a mall had to add wheelchair ramps. It's not like an inspiring technological undertaking.
