Random web apps that aren't the worse offenders. Heck, half of web apps use bootstrap and at least make buttons buttons.
It's the big "professional" players like Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc which appear to think that turning random text into indiscriminate buttons is a good idea. It's the worst of fad driven trends.
For example everytime I open up Apple TV app I have to button left and right to figure out which show is highlighted because the highlight is so subtle and I'm not 20 anymore. All the other TV apps are just as bad, much less the phone apps.

The irony is that these abominations are created in the name of "cleanliness" and "clarity", purportedly to make it simpler for users to make sense of UIs.
