If there are cases where the visual content must be rendered, but the UI makes it clear that this content is not accessible to any user, or if the exposing of such content would result in a negative user experience for assistive technology users, use @aria-hidden. Currently, @inert is one such case, though once it is fully supported, there may no longer be a need for this. However, there will likely always be some visual UI examples where @aria-hidden is needed where @inert would be inappropriate.
