When navigating with the Tab key, the browser shows a visual indicator (an outline or "focus ring") on the active element. Removing this indicator with outline:none makes it invisible. This makes keyboard navigation practically impossible as the user no longer knows where they are on the page.
Real-world impact of "Visible focus (WCAG 2.4.7)"
It's WCAG criterion 2.4.7 "Focus Visible" — mandatory at Level AA. People with motor or visual impairments rely entirely on visible focus to navigate. Removing it for aesthetic reasons is a very common practice but excludes some users.
