Comment (by afercia):

 For better coordination: @kebbet is working on a PR to address the missing
 points reported above, see https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/6109/
 I left some comments there, everyone is welcome to contribute to that PR.

 > > The accessibility feedback from https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/pull/6064#pullrequestreview-1872283972 hasn't been
 addressed.
 > It was addressed, even if you don't agree with it ...

 I'm sorry I was not clear then. The feedback is not addressed because the
 main point is that there's no textual information about the currently
 selected image. Screen reader users won't have any clue what the selected
 image is. Alternative text like 'Preview as a browser icon' or 'Preview as
 an app icon' only explain the visuals of the UI, which I'd say it's not
 relevant. Instead, there should be some information about the currently
 selected image.

 > The linting does not detect any issues, but happy to look through it
 with a finer eye.

 This isn't new. The linter only catches some suntax error. WorfPress never
 had a tool to check all the JS coding standards as detailed at
 https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/wordpress-coding-
 standards/javascript/
 It has been discussed since 2016 at least, I think, and there's a Trac
 ticket open since years but no actual progress so far.
