The provided Material actually has these properties exposed. They aren't displayed in the ShaderGraph window, but they are defined in the Material. There isn't much we can do to prevent showing these values as the Material section relies on the Material asset itself, not the ShaderGraph definition.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new Unity project
2. Import provided UIShaderGraph.unitypackage with shader inside
3. Open UI Builder window
4. Add Button element to the Hierarchy
5. Find and open Material foldout
6. Select imported New Shader Graph Asset to the Material field
7. Press “+” button
8. Observe the material properties names

Actual results: Material property names are shown as long hashed internal names in the dropdown when clicking the “+” button to add a material property (e.g. UVDistortion_177956dff790407e26b..._NoiseMap_647888222_Texture2D)
Expected results: Material property names are displayed with human-readable names (e.g NoiseMap_ in the dropdown when clicking the “+” button to add a material property

Reproducible with versions: 6000.3.13f1, 6000.4.3f1, 6000.5.0b5, 6000.6.0a3
Can’t test with versions: 6000.0.73f1 (No Material foldout, no UI Shader Graph)
