In Special:UploadWizard the text 'Select a media file to share' doesn't specify that drag and drop feature is also present.
Maybe modify the message for this to 'Select or drop a media file to share'?

Is this something to do with Gerrit change #3808?
Yes, I saw this later. that bug will fix this. Marking as assigned to you.
Change 3808 had a related patch set uploaded by Alex Monk:
Add HTML5 drag and drop support
It is not obvious indeed. My little story:
Thinking using drag-and-drop would be more convenient than selecting files in Firefox's tiny Choose File dialog (and looking for a safer workflow after having lost my careful file selection several times because of hitting the 50 files limit), I tried dropping some pictures onto the UploadWizard, BUT that just replaced Firefox's URL with the local file:// URL to the file in the filesystem.
I concluded that drag-and-drop is not implemented yet, and (where 99% of the users would have given up) I decided to create a Phabricator issue asking for it. Then I found this ticket.
So, for those in my case: For drag-and-drop to work, you have to drop the images EXACTLY on the blue button (either "Select media files to share" or "Add more files"). Cheers!

Change 632805 had a related patch set uploaded (by VolkerE; owner: VolkerE):
[mediawiki/core@master] Update OOUI to v0.40.4
That should be done in a follow up, the current patch doesn't change the existing buttons.
That could be redesigned, but I wanted this also to be a minimal change from the status quo, and these two buttons are current inline:
