This impacts accessibility because it's much easier to ensure good a11y if authors use native widgets. The longer we don't support things like this, the more custom (and probably inaccessible) implementations will proliferate. Note that if/when the layout part of this is implemented, we'll need code in the a11y module to support this as well.
