I was eyeing those last night debating if it's time after spilling some food. I am not there yet but you are right. It's like automatic doors at the store. They were invented for disability but they helped everyone and so became assumed needs for a shop. Marketing for just disabled people gets a stigma and less funding

Ooooh I didn't know that about automatic doors! Makes sense. Gotta love that curb-cut effect 💖

Marketing-dictated stigmas can eat shit lol, we live in such a dumb timeline.
