Don't unconditionally use wxWidgets' implementation of IAccessible for all windows when wxUSE_ACCESSIBILITY is 1, because it is inferior to the system provided one: it often lacks appropriate labels, doesn't fully support navigation and wxIAccessible isn't fully implemented. The approach, when using MSAA, recommended by Microsoft documentation is to customize accessibility for custom controls only, by proxying to the standard and overriding what is necessary. By making this change, user code is still allowed to customize accessibility if needed, without negatively impacting standard controls that don't need any custom code.
