Text fields show a caret whenever they accept keyboard (or OSK) input -
they do show a focus ring only when focused via keyboard.

Focus ring on tap would mean changing what focus ring means.

Selected item? Maybe. How about selected switch?

Keyboard focus should follow tap/ click so that pressing (Shift)Tab moves 
relative to the component last interacted with - that's a requirement right now.
Conceivably the behavior could be changed to 'anything that won't visually show 
keyboard input takes no focus on tap' provided all components including other 
types of buttons are re-visited and the keyboard navigation requirement above 
is re-visited.
This goes back to my point, we have no requirement to show that input is 
accepted, except for text input as a special-case.
