Comment (by muddassirnasim):

 This is an important accessibility issue. Using long descriptions inside
 <label> elements can create confusion for assistive technologies, as
 labels should be concise and tied directly to form controls. Moving the
 longer text to elements associated via aria-describedby would greatly
 improve screen reader usability. Thanks for raising this!
