To bring up an example from current WCAG 2.0, when talking about color contrast for instance, the SC doesn't talk about contrast "as measured on the screen" - as doing that would be outside of a content author's control, as they can't query/account for differences in display/screen quality, brightness/contrast settings, color profile calibration/miscalibration of the display, etc. In this situation as well, the responsibility of having a device with a display that is actually "reasonably" (for whatever definition of "reasonable") well calibrated lies with the manufacturer to one extent, and with the user to ensure whatever settings they have access to are set to their particular needs and requirements. At the risk of stating the obvious, It's the interplay of responsibilities between user agent/device manufacturers, web content creators, and indeed users - the onus can't be shifted just to content authors (particularly for things they have no direct influence over).
