Not sure how did you come to that conclusion. (Although it is part my 
fault as I didn't write a GNOME Shell accessibility status post as I said.)

It was not planned to have GNOME Shell fully accessible for GNOME 3.

And in fact the current minimum support is somewhat recent.

And although it is minimum, it allow to test GNOME Shell with Orca and 
start to report bugs(ie: joanmarie already reported about 3-4 bugs).

FYI, in January, Orca didn't react *at all* with GNOME Shell.

In summary: accessibility status for GNOME Shell == work in progress.

It is supposed that the fallback option was both for hw issues and 
accessibility issues.
