Accessibility labels might not be the best input labels, used for example to find or interact with elements with Voice Control or Full Keyboard Access. In those cases, you can provide accessibility user input labels.

Have you used Voice Control? It feels like magic! But it would be cool if you could have an easier time guessing the name of a button without the “Show names” command. We can do that!

Grouping elements when it makes sense can make a huge impact on easing navigation with some assistive technologies like VoiceOver, Switch Control, or Full Keyboard Access. It also helps on reducing redundancy.
Accessibility labels should not contain the type of the control, that's a job for the accessibility trait instead. If you have a button with a label like "Close button" and the ".button" trait, VoiceOver will say: "Close button, button".
