Yes, I've ranted about this before (because of course I rant):
"Comment on WAI-ARIA Practices 1.1 - emphasis on keyboard interactions, which don't translate to touch devices" 
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg-comments/2015AprJun/0005.html


And more generally, WCAG has a keyboard bias, as already discussed on list here (and some rantings here
https://twitter.com/patrick_h_lauke/status/602414144583761920)

This led to this addition to the editor's draft of "ARIA in HTML" 
https://w3c.github.io/aria-in-html/#aria-touch which then references some fairly high-level quick and dirty exploration of ARIA patterns that, because of their intrinsic assumption of "there's always a keyboard" break on touch devices
