Description
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
-
It's unclear if the below note is relevant anymore. I would guess it's probably not.

-
This note could be cut down to only the stuff relevant to todays web developers. Also potentially the styling support should be moved into it's own sub-feature? As it's only loosely relevant to the label attribute. Though from my testing only Firefox supports this so potentially can just be left as an odd note.

-
Potentially the label attributes support should be marked as partial until version 77. (This note is also present for Firefox Android)

Did you test this? If so, how?
I did test the label styling by putting the below code snippet into the MDN interactive example. Tested Desktop Chrome, Firefox and Safari. I haven't tested mobile browsers.
<style>
option {
background-color: rebeccapurple;
color: red;
}
</style>
Can you link to any release notes, bugs, pull requests, or MDN pages related to this?

Research direction
Start with html/elements/option.json at the label feature and its Firefox notes, then review the linked MDN option page and the reported browser behavior. Confirm whether the notes and partial-support entries remain accurate, including Firefox Android, and update the compatibility data so the guidance reflects current web developers' needs.
