They do not open via keyboard navigation, which means users of keyboard navigation without a screen reader or similar utility have no access to the content in the tooltip

For ref, documentation from Radix: https://www.radix-ui.com/primitives/docs/components/tooltip

Looks like it should support keyboard focus out of the box.

Their docs also imply we can't use their tooltips on interactive components which need those keys for themselves

Tooltips open on focus - according to this I think we meet criteria without having another keybinding.
When applied to non-interactive elements they are inaccessible - wrapping in a span is a suggested solution.

The wrapping in a span might cause an issue around keyboard focus though, if you activate a button which then gets disabled you wouldn't expect your focus to move, but as it would then get wrapped with a span your focus would be reset and as a screen reader user you would have to find the button again to know what the tooltip says.

I believe this is resolved
