This issue is also happening on iOS (15.4) and not limited to macOS: https://twitter.com/schweinepriestr/status/1508748936252698626

In the video, https://codepen.io/Blondebeard/pen/JjOOgEE showing the outline is imho incorrect, or, to put it neutral, different from other browsers.

Additionally the mentioned test
https://wpt.fyi/results/css/selectors/focus-visible-script-focus-006.tentative.html?label=experimental&label=master&aligned=
or rather
http://wpt.live/css/selectors/focus-visible-script-focus-006.tentative.html
doesn't appear to cover this issue fully, as it PASSes but clearly the behavior is different.

If I understand correctly this is not speced behavior, but I would strongly urge WebKit/Safari to match the other browsers.

Because imho the current behavior, esp. because of mobile, blocks the usage of `:focus-visible`. Out of nowhere you have all those focus indicators showing up on mobile because previously using .focus() wasn't an issue but is now after switching to `:focus-visible`, so you'd have for example
- wrap `:focus-visible` in a media query only targeting a certain min-with (potentially excluding iPads or small width devices using keyboards)
- not use .focus() on mobile, checking everywhere, potentially rewriting your whole application
- not use `:focus-visible`
All of which are unfavorable options.
