Based on what I see in the world, I suspect one reason is that a <div> makes it easier to apply some bizarro appearance to the button, so it not only doesn’t act like a button, it doesn’t even look like a button.

This comes from either business or the UX people who want stuff to look pixel perfect to their stupid wireframe.

Why does a website that sells to a pretty much captive audience who cares more about functionality than looks obsess so much about every single button looking pixel perfect to some arbitrary wireframe, I will never know.

Things looking intentionally designed in great detail is also a function, despite programmer protests.
