Not that I want to invalidate what has been said, but I think the screen
rendering tool is only one building block of the final user experience.
The whole accessibility stack matters and I guess it would require quite
a bit of work to mesure performances in a menute way, in a way which
isolates each component. Such data would be super useful though.
