Comment:

 I don't think this is all that clear cut. Moving focus can be disruptive,
 and if there are multiple errors, might give a person the impression that
 there is only that one.

 Right now, if these forms are submitted without a title, there will be an
 error shown visibly and announced via `wp.a11y.speak()`. If this was
 changed to have a focus move, we'd have to eliminate the spoken message
 and add an `aria-describedby` with the field error message.

 In my opinion, these are just two different and reasonable ways of
 accomplishing this goal. Moving focus may be slightly quicker for some
 users, but it could also be confusing for some users. Overall, it's
 probably a rare scenario, since the required field here is fairly obvious.

 I'm going to close this as wontfix. If at some future point we resolve
 #47505, and determine that our global method for validation will be to
 focus the first error field, then this will still need to be done, but it
 would be done as part of a larger project.
