  I bet someone who needs it likes that it’s on by default.

    This is a rare case of an accessibility feature often being someone's roadblock...

      It’s a hell of a lot easier to disable than it is to enable, especially if you’re not disabled. It’s a minor inconvenience once for us, but enabling it could be exceedingly difficult to overcome for someone else.

        Yea, a disabled person might have to get help to enable sticky keys if it wasn’t on by default. Most non-disabled people should not unless they are so tech illiterate that they don’t know how to use Google.

        It’s a small annoyance that gets less annoying if you look at it from an empathetic viewpoint.

      More one of those long ramps that switches back several times that you can ignore and take the stairs.

  It asks when you do it the first time lol, although asking at installation might be a better idea

    Eh, many people use computers but are not the ones who installed the operating system (e.g. work, school, library, etc.). I think it’s likely more accessible to be able to enable the feature at any time, if needed. In my experience pressing shift five times generally only happens to me when playing games. I don’t know how often it pops with normal web browsing, email, etc.
