One of the purposes of the screen reader is provide a significance to
the desktop to vision impaired people. As you say, the desktop allow a
user to quickly access elements on the computer. With the screen

a Desktop like any other user.

built-in feature is required on the desktop items to traverse/search
it, one of the most importants is keyboard navigation.
