Comment (by joedolson):

 If we change this, it should be to remove the wrapping `label`, so that
 the only label relationship is the explicit one. This is a relatively low
 priority change, but in most cases not complex. However, removing wrapping
 `label` elements can have significant impact on styling (e.g., if there's
 a flex or grid context involving that label), so they need to be handled
 carefully in individual cases.

 But in no circumstances should we elect to remove the `for` attributes so
 that we only use implicit labeling.
