@engcom-Bravo: can I ask you to increase the priority here? Because here in Europe a law will start applying from June 2025 onwards to force websites to adhere to accessibility rules. And since Magento has only one big release scheduled before that date (version 2.4.8, in April 2025), it would be good if we can get this fixed in 2.4.8 if possible.

@hostep you can review the fix for this issue on !39164 where we got this into 100% in accessibility on Lighthouse. You can use that MR as a patch until Magento team merges it into the core.
