You're right. Ironically, by employing this technique to attain a 100 accessibility score in Lighthouse, it becomes less accessible. I had hoped for reduced scripting. Thanks for taking the time to review my approach and provide feedback; I'll incorporate neodigm's method with your modifications.

@GLips I am having the same aria-hidden accessibility fail reported for our flip-cards powered by the Flickity carousel. Would you mind telling me how to use/install your patch on the page? Is it added as a stand alone script after fickity js is loaded? Or is it added somewhere within the Flickity javascript? Our example use page can be seen here: https://www.easternflorida.edu/financial-aid/index.php The four blue boxes in the 'Types of Financial Aid' section of this page is what uses the Flickity carousel. I am not great with Javascript. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
