    Then you just use radio buttons under the hood and override the appearance with CSS.

      This was circa 2010, and we didn’t have CSS appearance property yet. It wasn’t that much work, but I’d say it was non-trivial and I found it super annoying that I was going out of my way to make a UI that doesn’t work the way users expect.

        In my experience half of frontend development is bending over backwards to make everything look and work exactly like the boss/client wants even when you know what they want sucks for users, so I feel you.
