At this point, I can only hope Google will make accessibility a criteria for SEO.
They did the same for performance with Core Web Vitals, and can do the same for accessibility with their lighthouse tests (axe).
This automatic tests will never tell you if a website is really accessible, you need manual testing for this, but they at least tell you about very obvious issues (missing alt, missing label, color contrast...) you need to fix.
