Clearly, because it's a seriously inept volume LABEL selection. Among the following are some better, yet easy enough to remember and type, examples: # egrep -i 'deb11|deb 11|seye|bull|debian11|debian 11' *L*txt | grep ├─ | wc -l 26 # egrep -i 'deb11|deb 11|seye|bull|debian11|debian 11' *L*txt | grep ├─ a-865L10.txt:├─sda28 ext4 SS25deb11 cb7dac29-… ab250L26.txt:├─nvme0n1p14 ext4 pt3p14deb11 889fea98-…

Never have I felt any need or desire to do anything like that. If I did, it would be on an LVM, not on dozens of partitions.
The *L*txt files are automatically generated partitioner[1] logs with both both parted -l and lsblk -f output appended, which I use for keeping track of what's installed where here. Strings like pt3, tm8, m25 & sbyd above are extractions from disk model and/or serial numbers.
Perhaps we can agree to disagree on what's easy. IMO, your labels are basically as opaque as a UUID, even if systemic, but with the disadvantage of needing more effort to genreate. :-)
