The real problem happens when the GUI is considered to be all anybody needs. A certain wide-spread OS has gone that way and many times, one discovers that this or that application has no keyboard substitute for a given mouse action. One can be running one of the several rather expensive commercial solutions that allow those who are blind to use the OS, but in the case of applications, each one is its own world. If the developer failed to build in a keyboard equivalent for a given mouse action, it is game over. There is no Plan B. Three guesses as to the name of that OS and the first 2 don't count.
