Comment (by joedolson):

 The block editor tooltip doesn't seem very suitable, based on how I see it
 used - it's hidden from screen readers, it's not dismissable, and depends
 on aria-label for accessible naming.

 We could work on improving that - I think it would require a pretty much
 total refactor. The way its used in the block editor, the only change that
 would be needed within that context is making it dismissable; but for
 broader usage, it would also need to be communicated to screen readers and
 not be dependent on aria-label for naming.
