Not as much as it seems. There are some sites made for a group of people that the designer knows. If I make a site for just me and my brother and the people we play Risk with on Friday nights, and I know that none of us has a disability that effects our use of the internet, there's no reason to meet any sort of standard for it.

Some sites don't have that directly known audience in mind, but are made for an audience that normally would not worry about this sort of thing. Things like flash cartoon sites come to mind. There's no reason to have a caption show up if I can't view the cartoon.

It's still bad. The numbers just need to be taken in context.
