Real humans can't be expected to work with UUIDs (or have existing filesystem labels). UUIDs are for software like grub, systemd and kernel, not people.
+1 That's why we have DNS. That's why the cities we live in have names and we don't use Latitude/Longitude to describe where we live. Even the few of us who are good at mental arithmetic don't think in those sort of numbers. Whenever I set up a new drive I use some to tool to labels the disk. It may be ROOT4 or HOME17 or PHOTO18, and I try hard to make it both unique and meaningful. Occasionally I find the grub.conf has a UUID and I struggle to translate that and replace it with a meaningful /dev/disk/by-label/ or /dev/disk/by-partlabel/ YMMV but why make life difficult for yourself.
