Most gnome applications register, as they are gtk based (or clutter based, like the desktop).

This is an free software project, mostly run on volunteering time. So it is true, that as in several cases volunteering time from developers interested on a specific dependency, the support is somewhat biased to that specific dependency. We had some interesting conversations with developers from Simon [1] in the past, that pointed some places where at-spi2 could improve. But unfortunately it is also needed to do some real work. If you think that the needs of the speech recognition dependent needs extra support on at-spi2, we are all ears to suggestions and patches.
