(Edit: original response was to a pithy "it's hard". Commenter added context after the fact so I am adding context to mine):
No it isn't. Unless the company doing the designing isn't serious about it. Exactly of companies who are serious about inclusive design are Apple, and if you want gaming Microsoft. How are they serious?
- hire people with disabilities across the board so input happens at all phases of product development
- include people with disabilities during product and focus group testing
- bake inclusive design as part of their process
- hire people with disabilities in QA/QC
So, yes it's difficult if you have one person saying "make this thing inclusive otherwise we might get sued". It's not difficult if the organization is serious about inclusive design
