Comment:

 The current version of `mediaelement-and-player.js` still does the same
 thing, so updating that wouldn't do anything to resolve this.
 Additionally, since mediaelement is no longer in use in the block editor,
 I suspect that this is going to be a very low priority.

 As an accessibility issue, it's relatively minor, so customizing to fix it
 isn't super likely, as well.

 The purpose of the focus is going to mostly apply to video - it allows a
 user to tab onto the player if the player controls are configured to be
 hidden when playing or by default. Once focus is moved to the player, then
 the controls can be made visible again.

 Marking as 'maybe later'. It might be something worth fixing, but it's
 realistically not going to happen soon.
