The most common reason I've seen is whining about having to override default button styles.

I too have encountered this reasoning.

Then I write some basic CSS and show them they have nothing to fear.

Yet, I still remain irritated beyond belief that its such a common thing. In 2025. Hell, in 2017!

I don't know what to do about it, other than constantly remind people about things, but it gets tiring.

Though, its a great interview question. Its a quick way to understand if someone knows the fundamentals or not.

Kinda like how people got ".bind" wrong on functions for years.
