Bug Description

Release: Ubuntu MATE 20.04.2 and 21.04
Software, version: Software Boutique, 20.10.1

How to reproduce:
1) Login to Ubuntu MATE (tested on 20.04.02 and Rolling Rhino)
2) Start screenreader application (Alt+Super+s)
3) Launch Software Boutique
4) Hit tab to navigate

Expected: Screen reader would read each push button's label

Actual: Screen reader just says 'push button' for each tab press instead of reading the button's label.

Issue was reported by a user on UM community forum (https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/software-boutique-unlabled-buttons-with-orca-screenreader/23822).
