It depends on your software. Making a word processor accessible is a lot more necessary then making the latest first person shooter accessible. As a blind computer user I get angry if Microsoft Office doesn’t work, but don’t care if I can’t navigate the menus in Quake III. It also depends on your customers: if you are selling to the government than accessibility is going to be mandated (at least in America). Accessibility isn’t mandated for most non-governmental companies, though, so you can get away with as much or as little accessibility as your conscience, time restraints, and budget force you to implement.
