That’s a classic issue with these, and often not solvable by the web developer - an issue with mobile browsers themselves that’s hard to get around

It's trivially solvable with CSS though, isn't it? See the beginning of this stylesheet for example:

— this is from my small 2024 game.

Alas no, it doesn’t solve it for all browsers/use cases.

You mean the select: none, along with the drag setting?
If so, that's not necessarily followed/applied for accessibility reasons

If your game is essentially a single canvas element, having it user-selectable clearly doesn't help accessibility in any way.

You say that as if I've got any control over the browser on the end users device, some of which will be configured to not apply these rules globally for accessibility reasons...
