I think you are missing the distinction of "...it's available for users to read
if they perform *some command* to ask to see that content."
In the case of aria-describedby, the value of that attribute is currently
provided without user-intervention via the accessible description in the AAPI.
The mechanism for a user to choose to "hear" that content or not does not exist
in any current implementation (that I am aware of).
