4 years ago I don't believe this is actually a problem. The tooltip is used to provide advanced information for keybindings that are not the current operating system. Where these would be useful for those using screen readers would be if they use multiple operating systems AND happen to be browsing the VS Code docs on their machine that they don't use VS Code on.
Making this change would degrade the user experience by reading out all platform keybindings when they really are not relevant the vast majority of the time (for any user).

Environment Details: Application Name: code.visualstudio.com
URL:https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings
Windows Version: Windows10 Browser version: Microsoft Edge Version 81.0.416.60 (Official build) beta (64-bit), Chrome Version 81.0.4044.113 (Official Build) (64-bit) Screen reader: narrator ,NVDA2019.3.1
Repro Steps: 1)Launch the application url : code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings 2)User and Workspace Settings Page will get open. 3)Launch screen reader as narrator. 4) Go through heading "Creating User and Workspace Settings" locations)" to the text (Ctrl+Shift+P) using caps+right arrow key.
Actual: On navigating to the text (Ctrl+Shift+P) the tooltip associated with it is not announced. The control type of the tooltip is set to group. Similarly for the text " (Ctrl+,)."
Same with nvda+chrome
Same issue in the following page: 1.code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial under headings "Run Hello World/Configure and run the debugger/Install and use packages" 2.https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings under heading Language specific editor settings 3.https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings under heading Common questions 4.https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial under heading Select a Python interpreter and Create a Python Hello World source code file 5.:https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/versioncontrol under heading SCMProviders/Branches and Tags/Viewing diffs/Initialize a repository
Expected: The tooltip associated with all text should be announced the control of the tooltip should be set to "tooltip" instead of "group"
User Impact: Screen reader users will not receive the n information of the keys that can be used by different os users.
