Pretty much everything is clickable though. At some point the UI chrome starts outweighing the content.
Even in Windows 95, each program in the programs list didn't look like a 3D button. That inconsistency can be confusing too.
The programs list was a standard menu though, and those did have a 3D appearance.
In a way, a menu is a large button with horizontally separated segments (each row of text is its own clickable area, and there's nothing else in the menu).
Yes, even things that aren't actually clickable will give you the same visual feedback as a button, the same appearance and the same behaviour when clicked. It's madness.
