"Based on MacOS HIG guidelines" ... uses links for buttons.

Somehow this is even more aligned with Apple of today.

What do you mean? There is nothing wrong with displaying a link with a button style as long as you treat it as a link with that navigates somewhere else.

In the docs they are using buttons on interaction that does not navigate.

Yup. This basically sums up current approach.

There's a clear semantic distinction between a button and a link. For example, screen readers will treat them differently.

And this is especially egregious when your example page is specifically about buttons: https://codedgar.github.io/Puppertino/examples/buttons.html

Edit: Segmented controls are also links: https://codedgar.github.io/Puppertino/examples/segmented_con...

As are buttons like "close this sheet" in actions: https://codedgar.github.io/Puppertino/examples/segmented_con...

etc. etc.
