Whilst true I don’t think that’s fair. The demo was created as a way of showing how it would work, not providing a real world test.

For me this is one of the problems with including the 1st bullet point in the SC text and encouraging sites to create their own implementations. As a user (*especially* if you have cognitive issues) you don’t want to learn a new way of doing things for every site.
I’ve tested on-page layout widgets for low vision users, and even after being introduced to the widget and them saying it was useful, they didn’t use the same widget in the next site they used. These things have to be built into *your* technology.
That’s another reason to drop the first bullet (for on-page widgets) and concentrate on the key meta-data aspects.
Cheers,
