Problem/Motivation

Running https://validator.w3.org/nu on produced theme HTML reports next warning:

Warning: The banner role is unnecessary for element header.
Warning: The navigation role is unnecessary for element nav.
Warning: The main role is unnecessary for element main.
Warning: The article role is unnecessary for element article.
Warning: The contentinfo role is unnecessary for element footer.

We should remove this ARIA roles.

However judging by #3117230-25: Remove redundant role="article" from

html tags → as long as we support IE11 we should not do it. Comments in that issue also states that other browsers like Safari, has a lot of accessibility issues and this roles helps with this.

We should not do this until core drops IE11 and 📌 Remove redundant role="article" from html tags Fixed is not committed in core.
