Why is progressbar mentioned in F103?

[JAWS-test]

https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/failures/F103

Progressbar in F103 is listed as a live region, but it is not a live region: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#progressbar

Even worse: a progressbar can never be turned into a live region, because the change of the value of the progressbar does not affect any output in a live region (according to the specification of live regions)

I'm assuming the use of progressbar in F103 would be because you could consider a loading message as a status message, therefore the page should not fail if that has been added.

Pinging @mbgower as he created this technique.

The ARIA specification names all roles with implicit Live Region. progressbar is not one of them. If a loading message is implemented only with role=progressbar, it does not fulfill SC 4.1.3. Therefore, the list item in "Currently there are only a small number of techniques available to indicate status messages to assistive technologies..." should be removed.

I am not sure what the change should be, but I did want to affirm that progress bars were one of the examples of “auto-updating information” we had in mind when 2.2.2 was written.

Just remove the list entry "role=progressbar" from the list because it is not a live region
