I can't add much that hasn't been said, but I am 100% of the belief that links and buttons (and all HTML elements) have important semantic roles, and designers need to stop trying to choose one over the other based on how it "feels". I find myself constantly trying to make sure I stress the importance of using elements as they were intended, not based on how they look.

I found this article rather interesting: https://marcysutton.com/links-vs-buttons-in-modern-web-applications/
