Viewing the web as a platform for delivering applications, Web Integrity is an obviously good thing that I personally would use as a developer who makes software people pay for.

The opposition listed here is mostly misguided. For example, there is ~0% chance Google breaks "screen readers" or "assistive technologies" with Web Integrity. Saying that they would break seems like a bad faith argument to me.

Fundamentally this is about DRM and whether or not you think it should be allowed. I believe optional DRM for web applications would be good for developers and users of the apps. It would be bad for most other entities (crawlers, scrapers, criminals, etc). So I am in favor of it.

Accessibility isn't just about screen readers. I use extensions to alter page CSS to fix text sizes, contrast, fix Reader Mode, etc. With the Integrity API these could be blocked by the website.
