Mouseover event not fired on <select> options list item hovers

I don't see any mouseover events from the <select> tag's options list. For example on this page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select I can add an event listener document.addEventListener('mouseover', console.log) and I will see all other mouseover events except as soon as I am hovering on the options list.

Any ideas on why a mouseover event isn't fired here? I am aware that I can listen for a change event on successful selection by user, just baffled why the mouseover event isn't being fired.

Chrome doesn't support mouse events on option elements.
