📌 Summary
If merged, this PR would update the select all and select row checkbox labels so the visually hidden label is always
Select {selectionAriaLabelSuffix}
and update the default of selectionAriaLabelSuffix to be 'row'.It is not compliant to have the label of a form input change based on the state of the input because it makes it harder for users to find again / understand what the input is for. Instead, it is better to keep the input name consistent and let the screen reader use the html attributes on the input to convey the state (in this case, checked or unchecked).
