You cannot access a Shadow DOM created by the browser to display a control, that is called a #shadow-root (user-agent) in the Dev Tools. <input> is one example.

You can only access open custom Shadow DOM (the ones that you create yourself), with the { mode: 'open' } option.

element.attachShadow( { mode: 'open' } )

Update

It's true for most UX standard HTML elements: <input>, <video>, <textarea>, <select>, <audio>, etc.
