phenaproximaI am not in favor of this idea, so I'm closing this issue. That being said, I'm totally open to reopening it for discussion with the UX team if enough people think that it would add real value.
Here's the thing: the media library specifically hides the "select all" checkbox because it doesn't seem useful when selecting media to use in a field or WYSIWYG editor. I can't imagine that it is common for people to want to select all available media items in either of those situations.
On top of that, it doesn't seem like it would be beneficial from a usability standpoint. The media library has very limited screen space to work with, which means it needs to be heavily optimized for usability. Everything in it needs to be as useful as possible to the task at hand. I think that a "select all" checkbox would be an additional visual element that would increase the "clutter" and cognitive load, but not be very useful to most people.
Therefore, this feature feels more suited to contrib.

phenaproximaWelp, I just discovered the existence of #3104006: Select All media option is missing while adding media in Table format, so rather than wontfix that too, I will simply postpone this one on that one, since it is much further along, but it needs usability and accessibility review.
