If something is not a failure of an SC, it can’t be documented as a failure.   So failures cannot be used to extend or amend WCAG.     Their purpose was just to make it clearer that some things were failures when they commonly occur - or when they are commonly misunderstood.  )

Success criteria for the most relevant guideline (3.2--Predictable) are not relevant since receiving focus (SC 3.2.1) or changing a setting (SC 3.2.2) do not change context. A possibility is to add this as an Advisory Technique to 3.2 or make it a failure.
