> It even makes it easier to style the text with CSS since it's wrapped in a specific tag!

Labels don't have to wrap inputs. In fact, mine almost never do, that's too much of a pain to align. They're usually linked to their input via @for (and at some point in the future, I'll be able to do that with inputs and forms via @form, what a glorious day that will be)

I think in this case "the text" refers to the label's text, not the text in the input that the label is @for.

Oh ok, missed that. Sorry.

Agreed, however I think the problem lies with most tutorials out there which don't follow this logic and newbie devs just follow this path without thinking about it.

I have used labels in the past for radio buttons and checkboxes, but had never considered them before for input-type elements. It's a brilliant idea, and so easy to implement too!
