In this case I think a platform test is better. The fix mostly labels ruby groups with subrole affiliations which only exist on the Mac. If gtk were to do something similar they would have a different result. So this patch does not exercise a common core experience, but rather focuses on the Mac details. 

Since so much of the accessibility implementation is dependent on how the platform exposes attributes, there's many more platform tests that make sense than perhaps other areas of the code
Thanks
