Coding is as much a matter of personal growth as it is of logic and control-flow. I keep patience, curiosity, & exuberance in the same toolbox as vim and git.

In Israel and other jurisdictions, websites that provide a public service must meet WCAG 2.0 AA, or else the site owners could face steep statutory fines. Plaintiffs don't need to prove standing, either. IANAL, but in addition to the moral and business arguments you offered above, I think it's important to include the legal argument as well.
That is very true! I touched on it briefly, since the requirements are a bit more muddled in the United States. But they're a lot more clear cut for any websites owned by the government, from the federal to local level. For those, and any site providing anything that's an obvious need (like food) or extremely important (like air travel), the legal risks are a lot more obvious. For everything else, less so but they're still risks that could come back to bite them.
