Comment:

 Definitely there's a bit of inconsistency across forms in the admin. Many
 of them should be reviewed. Some years ago an attempt was made to use the
 HTML5 'required' attribute but seens browsers implementation was a bit
 poor at that time. See for example [29030] and #22183.

 At the very least, I'd say there should be a visual indication of the
 required fields and `aria-required`. Further improvements should be
 carefully evaluated especially thinking at mobile devices, see the
 discussion on the ticket mentioned above.
