Preconditions and environment

• Magento 2.4.4
• Blank theme, Luma theme

Steps to reproduce

Navigate to storeview
analyze html code of menu for correct ARIA markup

Expected result

Menu should be structured according to ARIA schema the following way:

<ul role="menu">
 <li role="none">
  <a href="" role="menuitem">link</a>
 </li>
</ul>

Actual result

<ul role="menu">
 <li>
  <a href="" role="menuitem">link</a>
 </li>
</ul>

As the li tag has no role, the child element for the menu role is missing and the parent element for the menuitem role is missing.

Users who rely on accessibility tools might run into a deadend here.

Additional information

This is also a ranking factor for search engines and part of the lighthouse check, should be fixed!
