Well, mayyyyyybe they wouldn't actually go through with it, I never actually put my foot down about this, but I've seen multiple people post things along the lines of "if you don't have a button how am I supposed to link to you?" or "one of the first things you need when you make a website is a 88x31 button" and I want to tear my hair out a little bit because no, this has nothing to do with making a website, please x')

(Also 88x31 as a standard format needs to die. It made sense when the average screen resolution was around 1024x768, but now we'd need something around twice as big to get the same IRL size in displayed centimeters and no one seems to take that into account T_T)

And yeah, accessibility! I don't even have accessibility needs on the web and the buttons walls are already feeling inaccessible to me x') I don't even want to imagine what it's like to navigate through that with a screenreader =S
