Sure, but isn't one of the goals of modern design to emulate the physical world for a more tactile feel? Googles material design has a whole section on how cards should behave so as not to break the rules of the physical world. It seems odd to strive for realism, but then break it somewhere because "it isn't a real button, so it doesnt have to feel like one"
