Description

**Describe the bug**
It doesn't seem that accessibility works on linux.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. set UI_SR_OPTIMIZED=true in forge.preferences
2. make sure you have orca installed, the gui screen reader for linux.
3. Open forge. The music will play, and the window will open, but no screen reader accessible widgets are displayed. Attempting to move with the arrow keys also speaks nothing.

**Expected behavior**
Orca should read widgets, or otherwise the game should speak widgets with something like speech dispatcher

**Screenshots**
N/A

**Desktop (please complete the following information):**
- OS: void linux 64bit
- Browser brave
- Version forge snapshot 1.6.57

**Additional context**
I'm honestly not even sure if it even is accessible on linux, but perhaps, if it should be, knowing what gui toolkit, or otherwise how it will make the gui accessible would be helpful to root out this issue.
