@nikitonsky What makes it look like a button? Is that a consistent conclusion you could expect across all cultural and generational audiences? Whay about accessibility? What's wrong with adjusting the pointer - the primary input method for a human interacting with the UI - to indicate it's pointing at an actionable element? Why the user has to play a guessing game even to understand if the UI element is clickable or no?

@ashald users have been playing the guessing game for 30 years now, and they are fine (no OS or native app change pointer on hover, only web)

@ashald as to why — because it creates visual noise

@nikitonsky I'm afraid this statement doesn't take into consideration experience of non tech savy bros and younger generations. Let alone visually challenged users. The real workd around us is full of visual noise abd somehow humans been living fine with that for forever. UI is not a minimalist exhibition in a museum of modern art. It's a tool with a mundane purpose.
