Yes, it is obscured but the screen reader reads the full preference name. What exactly is not accessible for you?

I feel like a keyboard-only user would have some trouble determining where they were when focus lands on one of those, particularly if they were of low vision (and also if there were multiple of them in a row; though I don't see any cases of those).
