Good to know! For the longest time ever their export to web was just canvas with no attempt at making it accessible.

I don’t know if even that was actually true? As far as I know the moment they introduced canvas as a rendering target they also produced a DOM structure along side it to capture the accessibility tree as they were still waiting on a more native solution in the form of AOM (accessibility object model) to be finalised.
