Research direction
Start with the StackBlitz reproduction, opening src/example/datepicker-overview-example.html in Microsoft Edge with Windows Narrator enabled. Verify whether the datepicker trigger can be reached and activated with Space or Enter; done means the date selection popup opens as described in the expected behavior.
