Comment (by celloexpressions):

 Repeating my comment from Slack:
 > Because these buttons perform non-destructive actions that are visually
 obvious when clicked, I think the simplicity of not having tooltips is
 better. They would certainly become distracting once the user knows what
 the buttons do, and after using them a few times I would expect most users
 to remember their purpose. My only concern would be whether users try
 clicking them in the first place, and that could potentially be solved
 with a feature pointer or by the specific way it's highlighted on the
 about page.
 >
 > I also wouldn't want to attach text to these as the specific buttons are
 intentionally ambiguous - the previewed sizes are arbitrary and not
 intended to represent specific devices, only provide a general idea of how
 the site behaves on different screen sizes.

 If appropriately vague text labels could be found, we could look at doing
 this. I personally feel that the labels there for screen readers are a bit
 too specific (potentially mis-interpreted) already.
