Right. It's an Ad.

But then when is any button in the UI not considered an Ad?

Chrome's new Side Panel button is an ad for the side panel feature.

Can't comment, as I don't use Chrome.

But to answer your question, a button in the UI is not considered an Ad when it's there to facilitate whatever the app is used for.
