It is supposed to? Says who? Maybe meant to say it commonly is?
That's quite a difference.

When I came up with that style in an old mockup, my reasoning was about
using a more uniform language. So things you single-click on should
share the style of buttons. Things you cannot click on should not look
like buttons. Having Active linked to depressed and avoid having
something move to the front if you click-down on it.
