It would be equal effort to restyle something done with ARIA compared to a semantic element, yes?

Depends on the element, the select and input elements are notoriously difficult to style, which is why people often remake them with divs and JS.

Combo boxes are a fucking nightmare to style, as are checkboxes and radios. Buttons arnt as bad, but you still spend a lot of time fighting against browser defaults which differ across browsers.
