As a user, I happen to like when different sites have familiar UIs. Why do I need to learn completely new controls for every single "web app" from AWS to Gmail to my company's internal systems.
I already know how to use a select element, why style it so I think it's a text field? I already know how to use a button, why style it like a link? I already expect certain features to look and work a certain way, why burden me with learning it all over again?
