What urgent objectives are met by replacing HTML with a server-side UI implemented on top of WebGL?

That doesn't make accessibility any less important. Consider: if one of your business customers is trying to fill a position that involves using your application, and one of the candidates is blind (or otherwise disabled), a reactive approach to accessibility means that they would likely have to pass over that candidate, even if that candidate is otherwise well qualified for the job. Or an existing employee may have an accident or illness that makes them disabled. So I don't think it's a good idea to ignore accessibility, let alone do something that is sure to make it much worse, until a customer reactively asks you to pay attention to it.
That said, providing accessibility is more of a business/application problem than a UI framework problem in my opinion.
I entirely agree with eropple's response to that. Also, our best hope of applications being more or less accessible is for the UI frameworks to automatically implement accessibility as much as they can.
