Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Spotlight is completely a visual tool that tells the user “where on the screen a particular element is that should be used now”. And for people using talkback, who can’t see what a spotlight is, are only annoyed/slowed by the spotlight flow, which is totally opposite to what the goal is.

Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of showing spotlights to the talkback users, add appropriate content descriptions on the elements being highlighted by the spotlight. Add a forced announcement for the hint button (when it becomes visible). Suspend the spotlight experience for the users using talkback. Back up this entire functionality using necessary tests.
