New description:

 The back button in the Customizer has `tabindex="-1"` applied to it, so
 it's not keyboard focusable:

 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/54e97c4c9a9ad71e6005d7e61e4f011ab08d1d4a/src/wp-includes
 /class-wp-customize-nav-menus.php#L1148

 Therefore, keyboard-only users will have to hit the close button to return
 to the dashboard before they can access another submenu.

 From my testing, it looks like we can remove the `tabindex=-1` (and add
 `type="button"`).
