This is the intended interaction design for checkboxes that don't have a button to the right of them. Doing this increases the target area and we do show the hover styling for the checkbox when hovering over them. We could make this more obvious though, maybe by drawing a background color behind the whole clickable area when hovering.

But why do we need a button for a checkbox.. In this case we can just click on the checkbox such that we can select/deselect the given option. Also for this case the checkbox is enabled with full right alignment so that's why we are able to select the checkbox button. So my opinion is that we should be able to select the checkbox just by clicking over the button provided there.

Hi!
I was able to reproduce it on latest Nightly 95.0a1 on Windows 10 and macOS 11 and due to comment 2, I'll change this issue as an Enhancement. Please feel free to change it if you consider it necessary.
Thanks!

I'm actually inclined to mark this as invalid as this is working as intended.
