Why you are forcing the select dropdown to open upon focus? While visually it might look better, it kind of goes against how other dropdowns usually work. I would recommend not adding this behavior since it would be a bit jarring for screenreader users who are navigating a page and suddenly have an open select dropdown they did not decide to open yet. I think keeping the behavior to other select dropdowns is the best experience for users.
