It is ok to not know everything.
It is ok to say I got triggered never mind.
It is ok to say this is the best practice (mantra, rule of thumb), which I follow and never questioned myself.
It isn't ok to call code bad without explaining why. I can quote Kurt Vonnegut on this: "Dr. Hoenikker used to say that any scientist who couldn't explain to an eight-year-old what he was doing was a charlatan".

I didn't ask you to write an article I asked to pinpoint at least one example to show the difference between button and div role="button".
What’s the difference between <button type="button"> and <div class="button" role="button" tabindex="0">, you ask? It’s the behavior.

TL;DR: Don’t do it! Use the <button> element.
