VoiceOver has the ability to focus the ::cue pseudo element in a <video /> shadow root. However, it will only read the element the first time it is focused - if the content of the element changes (as is usually the case with subtitles), VoiceOver will not read the new content. This makes it almost impossible for a screen reader to correctly read subtitles in a video.
I think these ::cue pseudo elements should either be rendered with aria-hidden="true" (in which case they would not be read by screen readers) or aria-live="true" (which should read them as they are updated).
