In regards to interactive content, F59: Failure of Success Criterion 4.1.2 due to using script to make div or span a user interface control in HTML without providing a role for the control (https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20160317/F59) already covers this situation. My concern was around those rare situations when text needs to be placed in the focus order and is not interactive. It sounds like the default native semantic structure elements would be sufficient absent role of none.
