Comment:

 Hello, thank you for the ticket and PR,
 It's difficult to find detailed benchmark on this implementation, but I
 found at least one resource which shows that using a `for` attribute on
 implicit label is better supported by user agents:
 https://dev.to/thejaredwilcurt/the-truth-behind-implicitexplicit-form-
 labels-2e10

 I don't know if this resource is still relevant but without knowing the
 implementation in current screen readers, I wouldn't recommend to remove
 the `for` attribute.

 Adding `accessibility` focus for a double check from the accessibility
 team.
