[Accessibility] VoiceOver - No announcement when focusing on already-selected date in date range picker #6293

Description

@armhaj

Describe the bug
When a date range is selected in the date picker, focusing on a date that is part of the selected range produces no accessibility announcement indicating that the date is already selected (VoiceOver, NVDA announces it correctly).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://reactdatepicker.com/#example-date-range-in-a-single-datepicker
  2. Scroll down to "Date Range in a Single Datepicker" example
  3. Open the date picker and select a start date and an end date to form a date range
  4. Navigate to one of the selected dates using keyboard

Expected behavior
When focusing on a date that is part of the selected range, VoiceOver should announce that the date is selected (e.g., "June 15 2026, selected" or similar).
