The agencies are more challenged by the needs to create an accessible frontend then an accessible backend. The latter is obviously not reasonable for a single client.

Sidenote: it will help to answer general questions about a11y in the Slack a11y channel. So far the a11y team is single-mindedly focussed on the BE. Actually work on anything besides the new page module.

How would the Q&A differ from the efforts mentioned here Accessibility best practices guide for TYPO3 ?

I find this very important. To grow our community and our user base, we need to make sure to not exclude users with bad accessibility. (This also is important in certain contracts where accessibility is required.)
