 Instead of hiding the RSS icon link, the image inside the link was hidden.
 So that results in an empty link.

 {{{
 .widget_rss a.rsswidget .rss-widget-icon {
         display: none;
 }
 }}}

 Steps to discover:
 1. Create an RSS widget, with the Twenty Twenty-One theme active.
 2. Visit a page with that widget in a sidebar.
 3. Use the tab key to navigate to each link on the page.
 4. When you arrive at the RSS widget heading, the first link is invisible
 but clickable.

 If using a screen reader, the speech output is unreliable:

 Edge/NVDA - "feed link heading level 2"
 Firefox/NVDA - "blank"
 Edge/Narrator - "link"
 Firefox/Narrator - "link"
