Accordion Block supports Up arrow and Down arrow to navigate to between headers (added by #71778). This creates a blocking accessibility issue : users can open a accordion header, but they can't scroll inside the accordion content after that. This is partly why this behavior is marked as optional in the WAI Accordion Pattern.
In the video, you can see that the first accordion has 8 paragraphs, but the 5th and 6th can't be accessed. After entering the accordion, Down arrow jumps to the next accordion header, and some of the accordion content is off screen.

This problem is inherited from the WAI Accordion Pattern. It has been reported to the WAI by @juliemoynatPro. Meanwhile WordPress could improve user experience and accessibility by disabling this behavior.
What is your proposed solution?
Remove Up arrow and Down arrow keyboard interactions for the Accordion block, as they're optional in the WAI pattern.
Alternatively, add an option to enable / disable these interactions, and have them disabled by default.
