It has to relate to an accessibility need in order to fall within the purview of WCAG, so just a desire to design well for mobile devices isn't enough to qualify these layout issues as requiring WCAG success criteria to be written. Certain user groups cannot change the orientation of their device (think for instance fixed mounted tablets on a wheelchair). Having content locked to a particular orientation will make it difficult/impossible for these users to consumer/operate. So yes there IS an accessibility need. P -- Patrick H.
