Description
This PR fixes a misleading screen reader announcement on FlatList items.
Why
In the "A FlatList with header and footer" section, Narrator announces "Tap to select this item" when navigating over each list item. However, tapping or activating the item does not perform any visible action - the items are not actually selectable despite the announcement implying interactivity.
This confuses screen reader users who attempt to interact with items that don't respond, leading to frustration and reduced trust in the interface.
