Any industry.

e.g. cars - not everyone is physically able to drive books - blind people can't read music - deaf people can't hear

It is a form of 80/20 or 90/10 rule the last small percentage costs as much as the majority.

I agree with the point you're trying to make, but your examples are terrible. Music industry doesn't have too much to do to help deaf people. It's not like they're deliberately making deaf-inaccessible music instead of relying on the old good deaf-accessible music formats.

(Also, the parent comment's example is also not so good because as someone else pointed just because the top 25% websites are serving webp it does mean they're not serving alternative formats for those who does not support it, as this is quite trivial to setup)
