As per Actions Menu Button Example Using element.focus():
The aria-expanded attribute is removed when the menu is closed.

MDN says that the default value for aria-expanded is undefined, which means "The element does not own or control a grouping element that is expandable." Shouldn't the Actions Menu Button always own the dropdown?

Is this a mistake? If not, what is the reasoning behind removing aria-expanded rather than using aria-expanded="false"?

Thanks!

See #697, #2808, and #2834.

The short answer is that omitting aria-expanded=false was intentional but the task force is reversing its previous guidance as described in the related issues. Since this is addressed by other issues, closing as duplicate.
