Description
In the screenshot above, while using Voice Control on mac when in Item numbers mode you can see that every interactive element has a number assigned to it which can be clicked by the user when they say that number.
There is no number next to the select because the html input is hidden, and there is no other way that Assistive tech can determine that the replaced .select__control is interactive.
As such, a user using Voice Control on mac would need to switch to Numbered grid mode to be able to open the select.

Research direction
Reproduce the select behavior on macOS with Voice Control in Item numbers mode, using the reported hidden input and replaced .select__control as the starting points. Trace how the control is exposed to assistive technology and verify that the select receives an item number and can be opened without switching to Numbered grid mode.
