That's an unfortunate take-away, as Google Reader is not representative of WAI-ARIA, so it's unfair to judge the reality of WAI-ARIA on a Google implementation that just includes a few WAI-ARIA attributes. If anything, it's just representative of how inaccessible Google web applications are, as accessibility hasn't been included from the start; just a few WAI-ARIA attributes bolted on at the end, which clearly isn't sufficient.
