But your arguments are incomplete, based on your assumption the components such as Unfocusable Choice, Unfocusable Button, Disabled Button, or even simple Label are non-Accessible. That's not the case. All of them are accessible via accessibility API and as a result by the external tools such as JAWS or VoiceOver. Using this accessibility tools the user can navigate over all meaningful elements on the Frame despite the components attributes, focus policy, etc.
