Comment (by azaozz):

 @afercia Yes, that's what I meant by pointing out the differences between
 a "web page" and a "web app".

 Labels are good for forms on web pages where the visitor is considered to
 be unfamiliar with the page. However in apps, labels can easily become
 "out of place".

 If you look at the HTML on that screen, yes, it is a form. But that screen
 is not a typical web form. It is much closer to a screen in Google Docs or
 in MS Word. The whole "meaning" of the screen is different there, the apps
 don't use labels the same way as web page forms :)
