If all web designers and browser developers adhered to W3C standards,
I suspect most of these problems would be non-existant...

However, I suspect those who make an effort to comply with standards
are in the minority, that those who actually manage compliance are
even rarer, and that a majority of those not trying for compliance are
not even aware the W3C exists. I also suspect the W3C is completely
lacking in the ability to enforce their standards, have my doubts any
legal mandates that are enforcible align completely with W3C
standards, and suspect the average user has negligible leverage to
hold those who violate web standards accountable, especially if the
site is hosted in a different country or the site owner lives in a
different country from the user with the grievance.

Standards are nice and all, but their usefulness is much diminished if
most of the relevant individuals are just ignoring the standards and
doing their own thing, and personal experience would suggest that's
exactly what's happening, especially if mouse/touch-only elements and
vision tests in place of turing tests are violations of the standards
as the abominations that are JavaScript clickables and Captcha are all
over the place.
