Comment (by azaozz):

 > As per discussion on this ticket and on #47149 the "Media Types" heading
 text needs to be changed to take into account other types of available
 actions (e.g. Edit, Cancel) or actions plugins may add (e.g. Shortcode UI
 adds an "Insert Post Element" action).

 Right. This is a contextual menu. By design contextual menus do not have
 titles or labels as they are always inconsistent/confusing. Please right-
 click in your browser window and see what is the title of the contextual
 menu you see? Now right-click on the desktop, and on a file on the
 desktop, etc. :)

 In that terms neither "Media Types" nor "Actions" is appropriate there.
 Contextual menus do not have such labels as they are always inconsistent
 and often confusing. In this particular case the words "Media Types" do
 not describe the purpose of this menu, and the word "Actions" doesn't mean
 anything in that context and is completely redundant.

 If this is needed for assistive technology to work better, it should be
 hidden from view.
