Description
Just wanted to ask why `textarea` elements aren't allowed to have the role `combobox`. It seems like just [certain types of `input` elements are allowed](https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core/issues/1777), so the following code snippet (obviously not the full widget) throws an [`aria-allowed-role`](https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.4/aria-allowed-role) violation. Does using text field elements other than `input` cause known accessibility issues? Thanks for any insight!
