Comment (by afercia):

 Quoting from the discussion during latest accessibility team meeting on
 Slack:
 > @joedolson: Can we see any specific benefit to allowing it? As I see it,
 it will almost 100% be used to hide labels and use placeholders instead,
 but if there's a legitimate and beneficial use, I'd be willing to listen
 to it.

 Worth considering WordPress shouldn't encourage accessibility bad
 practices, and using placeholders as replacement for labels is a bad
 practice for the reasons explained in #40331.
