How are ARIA roles/attributes bad for accessibility?
Sure, if there is a HTML element that works then use it, but not every UX pattern is expressible in HTML without specifying roles/attributes (e.g. tabs [1]) and not all browsers support recent HTML elements/attributes (such as using details/summary for accordions).
ARIA patterns [2] has a list of examples for UX components and their examples specify/use ARIA roles/attributes.
