Regarding the phrase: accessibility = usability I would say that accessibility is necessary but no always sufficient for good usability. Usability is more subjective, while accessibility has been defined as complying with the technical standards in WCAG or 508. And in some cases, in the name of usability, accessibility is broken. For example, many mouse only features are designed to make the software more usable to the mouse capable users, but unfortunately have broken or did not enabled the accessibility for the keyboard only user.
