> Put yourself in the shoes of a visually impaired person and think how frustrating it must be to get on a page that doesn’t allow you to open the main menu!
I just have to laugh at that kind of level of delusion. As if a screen reader will be able to figure out what the menu button is when the ids, classes and tags are all filled up with generated garbage by <insert unnecessary framework of choice>. It's not like the icon is labelled in any way that matters.
Any actually accessible or even good UX would have the menu buttons expanded by default, with text and not just icons. Mobile UIs have brought on this epidemic of hiding all features behind multiple superfluous clicks of icons hidden somewhere to the side and it just makes me feel like throwing up seeing it on desktop UIs. Even Wikipedia did it recently, despite the community backlash.
I also use 1440x900 on 24 inch monitors (I'm on the screen for 14 hours a day and don't like eye fatigue.)
(1280x720 on 15 inch laptops -- most sites think I'm on mobile so even more clicks)
