Wow, that's kind of a blanket statement...
It happens that the slow moving assistive technology screen reader
market loves MSAA/IAccessible2 and are not likely to move to native
UIA implementations for some time yet. This is not to mention the
slow support for UIA on the application developer side... A few years
down the line maybe, but so far away that it's not within sight.
