"Now, decades after the fact, and a million files later, we need to
invent our own, novel syntax just for labeling loops and switches? No,
we don’t!"

Yes, we do. It's a name of the loop, scoped to that loop, not a generic label.

"This is a readability issue; with the exception of goto and labels,
function bodies can be understood by reading them from top to bottom."

The claim is not correct for member functions defined inside a class
definition before data member declarations.
