The current description of the accessible prop is misleading and confusing. The current wording implies that this prop mainly "groups its children into a single selectable component", which is a round-about way of saying it can receive focus, I think? I am not really sure what that means.
Regardless, the main point is not hammered home: This prop allows the View to be discoverable by screen readers (and other things).
The example is also a bit misleading, since Text is focusable by default on iOS. It is not wrong, but the example is better for a guide on label co-opting, not basic use of accessible.
Curious how, if at all, I should change this for previous versions.
NOTE: This is the same as #4653, with the requested changes. I had mucked up my fork and wanted to fix it.
