According to the MDN website, the aria-modal="true" attribute is not supposed to do that. They say "Setting aria-modal="true" on dialog and alertdialog role containers indicates the presence of a "modal" element to users of assistive technology, but does not actually make the element modal. The features that make the element actually modal must be implemented by the developer."
