I think it would be very beneficial if the browser vendors, together with screenreader vendors and those who use them, were able to come together to actually unify the approach to how elements/these attributes/etc. are communicated to the end user.

this part is covered. the issue are the web devs who need or decide that they need to repurpose a set of elements into another set of elements and skip informing the non visual user about that.
