I strongly disagree. It is very natural to insert a label when the

Labels could be turned to paragraph parameters, like we do in maths. I
do not know whether there are real cases where someone needs precise
placement.
The writer may want to get the page number right when referring
to a sentence/word in some (sub)section (or even paragraph) that
spans several pages.
This is a case where we need a manually inserted label in the middle of
text.
Still, it'd be nice to get rid of _most_ of those manually inserted
labels by auto-labeling every section, subsection, float caption, and so
on.
Referring to the beginning of something is a very common case.
