I would suppose that the following interpretation of 4.1.2 would make no sense:
âAll user interface components need ANY role that can be programmatically determined.â
Here is a fitting sufficient technique for this misinterpretation:
âMark up each user interface component as a link.â
F59 states that using script to make div or span a user interface control is a failure.
https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/failures/F59
Why is it a failure?
âAssistive technologies rely on knowledge of the role and current state of a component in order to provide that information to the user.â
IMO the spirit of SC 4.1.2 is to apply the FITTING role.

it is seems that SC4.1.2 does not require a correct role, it requires that role can be programmatically determined at all Or not?
