Because it says "click here"?

Most of this stuff is for HTML-designed presentation rather than active
webpages. Imagine, you have a kiosk running Win2K and IE5.x, and want
it to look as little like Windows or a web browser as possible, and have
lots of pressable, clickable, non-image buttons.
They have uses. Saying "oh, but links and form objects support these!"
is dumb, because they're f**king UGLY.

Busy users tend not to use ugly pages.
