It's expected that interactive target areas are to be 48dp or larger to allow users with limited dexterity and users on the go to better target and tap controls (per WCAG 2.2 Level AAA Success Criteria 2.5.5 and 2.5.8 Target Size (Enhanced and Minimum)). More details could be found in BBC Accessibility guide

That's being said, I agree that this is an enhancement, because the item is an inline control that is limited by the line height, but its length, in this case, enlarges the total area that can be tapped by being long, so marking it as access-S4

I noticed that on some devices, the URL bar displayed in the prompt is also flagged by the accessibility scanner.
Tested with Motorola Moto G30 (Android 12) in Beta 137.0b10.
