But even then, in this tutorial, you can see that it was already considered something to try and avoid: (Good programming practice dictates using few labels, so later examples will strive to get rid of them.) and then later... The ability to replace single statements by complex ones at will is one thing that makes B much more pleasant to use than Fortran. Logic which requires several GOTO's and labels in Fortran can be done in a simple clear natural way using the compound statements of B.
