This was circa 2010, and we didn’t have CSS appearance property yet. It wasn’t that much work, but I’d say it was non-trivial and I found it super annoying that I was going out of my way to make a UI that doesn’t work the way users expect.
In my experience half of frontend development is bending over backwards to make everything look and work exactly like the boss/client wants even when you know what they want sucks for users, so I feel you.
