Description GoOz 2022-08-18 08:59:54 PDT 
Reproduced on Safari 15.6 & MacOS 11.6.8 and 12.5

Testcase: https://codepen.io/GoOz/pen/MWVZXZQ

Actual results:
If there's an aria-modal attribute set to true somewhere on the page, aria-labels from shadowDOM elements outside the modal element OR inside it but with the aria-label inside its own shadowDOM won't be read by Voiceover.
Removing the aria-modal="true" attribute will read all of them but that's not an option for the sake of a11y.

Expected results: 
Voiceover should read shadowDOM elements aria-labels
