Comment (by afercia):

 > It would be great if we could first check other oEmbed providers to see
 whether this is a broader problem

 I've made my part and checked Vimeo :) it adds a title attribute on the
 iframe with the video title. Just the title of the video. It doesn't say
 the iframe content is about a video though. So, for example, when
 embedding a video that ironically has a title like
 [https://vimeo.com/203126235 The Bigger Picture], the iframe title doesn't
 let me actually understand what the iframe content is about.
