Re: Do accessibility tools treat 'group' and 'radiogroup' differently?

The radiogroup role is reserved for radio buttons only.
You can use the aria-required attribute on an element with
role="radiogroup", meaning you have to select one radio button from the
group.

The group role is more generic in nature and marks a group of form
controls (likely grouped because they have a common group label).
These can be checkboxes or radio buttons or text input or whatever.
The aria-required attribute is not allowed on a group role because its
meaning is not clear.
