"noimplement" means that the component does not implement Accessible. According to the following bug priority guidelines, this is a P1 issue.

Since the SatelliteComponent is a visual library component I am reassigning this issue to the visual library.
imo, there are some components that should NOT implement accessible because there is no sense to let a person with disabilities to inform about such components. Accessible interface allows to the A11Y readers get an info about a component when it is focused. However SatelitteView is visual component that should not be focusable at all. There are no actions that this component could provide to the people with disabilities. It is unusable to blind people, it is to small for people with eye disabilities, etc. When we report an issue about A11Y then we have to thing if it is useful to implement Accessible interface for the component. And yes, there are other components in IDE that DON'T implement the accessible by purpose and they are usualy not focusable.
Ok. I agree with this explanation.
