In short, interface consistency, and catering to user expectations.
More specifically, apple tends not to trust its users to have taste,
or sense. So they make input elements look like every other button in
the interface so user expectations are not violated, I.E. forced to

Very simple really. Though you will note this issue only really
exists with safari. Firefox for mac has standard windows style
widgets, and I'm not sure what the situation in camino is, but it has
the same rendering engine as firefox so I imagine it's pretty similar.
Camino, Opera and iCab for Mac behave like Safari. FF is the only one
that is liberal with form controls.
