Incidentally, radio buttons are a (sadly) forgotten art and are neglected in modern browsers. There are many issues with them, which is why people reimplement them on their own.

Can you provide more details about the issues?
Not really, because I no longer remember. I only remember bugs and frustration. But I looked at my code quickly and found this:
;; Let's render radio buttons ourselves. Because of bugs in React and Chrome, radio buttons mysteriously stop working.
;; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48423061/radio-buttons-n...
;; https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/3446
followed by my own implementation of radio buttons, followed by:
;; Original implementation, to be used when radio buttons actually work:
followed by an implementation using an input of type radio, commented out.
Reading through the threads that sounds like a React bug not a browser bug
