I have no experience with assistive software but I suppose non-native UI libraries should be using native OS toolkit (e.g. [0][1]) or specific APIs libraries, which targets NVDA, JAWS, Orca and others (this is one of the same idea shared in the one answer on SO [2]). I guess web browsers and other native GUIs just do that behind the scene.

Edit: IAccessible2 [3] seems to be compliant to both Windows and Linux. Whether Apple AppKit provides specific accessibility-focused UI elements [4]. Flutter has also similar one, it is called Semantics [5].
