I have similar understanding, and I feel that it's not reasonable if
all of the web pages which do not provide skip links can't comply with
WCAG2 A, even if the pages do have proper document structure with
proper headings (and proper landmarks of WAI-ARIA). Due to the
situation, SC 2.4.1 is valid for level AA, rather than level A, IMHO.
