Numerous websites we have tested in the last few months have had problems with focus indicators due to incorrect use of :focus-visible. Sometimes it causes a lack of focus indication, but often it causes the text and/or background to have colours the author did not intend. No one would have coded this intentionally, which is why I suspect the frameworks are doing it, perhaps without the developer's knowledge. The fact that they're applying inappropriate styles/colours is likely nothing to do with :focus-visible per se. If they had used :focus instead, incorrect colours etc would still be incorrect. Without a clear example though, this is speculation on my part, but :focus-visible in isolation will not cause any new problems that would not also appear if they had used :focus instead.
