Comment (by joedolson):

 On discussion, we're leaning towards changing the `aria-label` on the
 `nav` element to "Posts pagination" to provide the context here. The
 options for changing the link text themselves are already sufficient, so
 it doesn't make sense to add additional options there.

 Adding a filter to allow extenders to modify these arguments does make
 sense to me, though - it would be nice to be able to change how a theme
 presents these links without needing to extend a child of every template
 using it.

 You can already do that using the `paginate_links_output` filter, but it's
 labor intensive, since that requires you to either parse the HTML or
 rebuild it; filtering the arguments is much better for just tweaking how
 it works.
