> What is the rationale for expecting the child element to be exposed to AT when the aria-hidden on the parent is true? Why should the ancestor's aria-hidden value be disregarded?
Because this is how CSS visibility:hidden and visibility:visible work.
If this method worked for aria-hidden it would make hiding background content when modals appear much more straight forward.
