Why is “Checkbox” rendered as a button, not an input? What’s the rationale behind that choice?

Honest question:

I would like to understand why the Checkbox and Switch components have been implemented as button elements with ARIA attributes.

What are the advantages over using a native input type="checkbox"?

Have you found out the reason ?
Curious to know about it as well

Yes seen it, but that doesn't provide a rationale.
