I appreciate the importance of raising matters like this, so something can be done about them, perhaps in WCAG 3 or even in a WCAG 2.3. In a practical way, however, this kind of thing is only an issue if we restrict ourselves to "WCAG audits". In my view, all accessibility audits should include both WCAG compliance, and accessibility best practice, and we should be educating our clients (if we are an external auditor), or developer teams (if working in-house in a company) to understand that. We ought to impress on them that they should be aiming to be inclusive of disabled people, not simply doing it to comply with some law or regulation. We do, after all, call ourselves "accessibility consultants", not "WCAG consultants"!
