VoiceOver incorrectly announces locations in Files app Browse tab as "switch buttons"

Description

When using VoiceOver and navigating to the Browse tab in the native Files app, a location listed may incorrectly be announced as a "switch button." For example, focusing on the "iCloud Drive" location results in VoiceOver reading "iCloud Drive, switch button, double tap to toggle setting." This occurs for most locations listed on the Browse tab.

When performing a double tap on a location, it will behave as a normal “button”, in that it opens that location for browsing.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable VoiceOver.
  2. Open the Files app.
  3. Navigate to the Browse tab.
  4. If needed, navigate to the top level locations list.
  5. Move VoiceOver focus to any location item, such as "iCloud Drive."

Expected result:

VoiceOver should announce the location name and that it is a button. For example, "iCloud Drive, button."

Actual result:
VoiceOver announces the location as a switch button. For example, "iCloud Drive, switch button, double tap to toggle setting."
