Thrilled to see more tests for real-world `aria-label` exposure:
https://www.maxdesign.com.au/articles/aria-label.html
But ARIA outlines what roles disallow `aria-label` (§5.2.8.3):

I was just listening to "Strong Songs", one of my favorite podcasts, but it was re-airing an episode of "Aria Code", a podcast I haven't heard before, about single opera arias.
This half hour episode from 2021 is looking at Nessum Dorma, intersecting it tightly with vignettes by an ICU doctor describing moments from the first year of the pandemic. It's very much worth a listen - uplifting, emotional, hopeful. Vincero!

Puccini's Turandot: Hope Never Sleeps | Aria Code | WNYC Studios
“Nessun Dorma” has long been opera’s crossover hit. But in the last year, it’s become something more -- an anthem of hope.

@… I’m playing catch-up on your weekly updates (you no longer shows in my feed or alerts even though I follow you, which is hella annoying and I still have to debug) and think you were messing with me by generating the abstract of my Atlass post with an LLM.
If so, well done and I’m sorry I’m just seeing it.
If not, then I guess I need bet…

When I see “accessible by default” I am broadly wary:
