As discussed on Slack with eBay Skin and accessibility team, we will keep both <section>
and role-region
even though it's redundant:
<section>
is supported by AT in all scenarios. So, having a fallback with role=region
helps us achieve that. Based on this table from a11ysupport.io, JAWS and Talkback still partially support <section>
but this will change in the futureI am closing this ticket as won't fix/change.
According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/region_role#prefer_html, it is not necessary to specify role to
<section>
elements.
