A counter argument to that: So they'll get confused on every site that uses a button. You then change it just on one site, which only reinforces their confusion "oh, on this site it turns into a hand, so that means I can click it, but on these other sites it's dead". It's about consistency in browser behaviour/UI feedback (which, I'd argue, is different from making design choices for the visual presentation of information per se).
