Thanks for reporting this issue.

Accessibility support is especially important for enterprise applications because many organizations have regulatory and compliance requirements related to screen reader compatibility and inclusive user experiences.

The sap.m.Select control is commonly used in transactional applications, forms, and workflow screens. If screen readers cannot correctly identify or announce the control state, users relying on assistive technologies may face challenges when navigating and completing business processes.

Given the widespread use of this control, resolving the screen reader behavior on Chrome for macOS would help improve accessibility consistency across platforms and support compliance with WCAG accessibility expectations.

Thank you for investigating and working on this issue.
