What constitutes a truly accessible web map requires extensive user research, however as can be seen in the Web map tools WCAG 2.1 evaluation (presented by Nic Chan at the 2020 W3C/OGC Joint Workshop Series on Maps for the Web) there are quite a few opportunities to improve accessibility in the UI of MapKit maps that would immediately benefit the end-user.
In the evaluation report I have deliberately not included any techniques sufficient to pass a particular Success Criterion for brevity, however I am hopeful to see efforts to improve the state of accessibility in MapKit maps!
Thanks.
