<video> elements must have captions #16244

Lighthouse complains about a video element without "captions" track.
I think that this rule is a bit overblown, there are many cases where a captions track cannot and must not be provided.
My case is a QR code scan situation where is no way and reason to provide a captions track.

On a general note, I believe that Lighthouse is "the" tool for web developers, but I wish it does not become
a tick box exercise caused by all this weird and superfluous rules.

This caption advice is marked as critical because deaf users will have limited understanding of the content without captions. Are you saying that this shouldn't apply in your case since your video has no audio?
