I recently discovered our frontend widget library draws an SVG to implement Radio instead of using <input type="radio">. I was looking at it because they forgot to add a "disabled" attribute.

Best case I'm hoping it's because they were required to get an exact design, but they really should have pushed back on that one if so.

Sounds like they either don't care about accessibility or like wasting money comprehensively reinventing things.

Thereby forgetting that some people like to open links in a new tab.

And for the ones that remember to implement middle-mouse click to open new tabs, forgets that one can also do CTRL+click to open in new tab, or vice-versa.

Just use <a> please :)

Or just right-click -> open in new tab
