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!
