In any case, I have no idea where this article comes from talking about
Fedora not being accessible for 9 years. That just seems odd to me.
I interpret the article in question as claiming that (1) Fedora
Workstation has been using Wayland by defalt for nine years, (2) Orca
doesn't properly support Wayland, (note that this is due to issues on
the Wayland side), and hence (3) default installations of Fedora have
had adequate (known to be flawed)
support for screen reader accessibility during this time. The author
further refers to the role of Red Hat in Fedora and their ultimate
ownership by IBM, large corporations that could well afford to have
committed the engineering effort to solve these problems years ago.

Note this is very different from making the false claim that Fedora has
not been at all screen reader-accessible over the time period - and the
author doesn't assert the latter claim.
