The main role is a text field because you can type into it. 

An AXIncrementor is only used for the tiny little buttons that do the stepping. 

The roles are a very defined set because VoiceOver would not be able to recognize or handle the elements correctly without customization to handle those roles. So changing the roles doesn't work.

Potentially we could change the role description, but I'd rather let VoiceOver decide how it wants to output this element, which it can do by observing there is a stepper inside the text field
