I believe that if we use :focus-visible in the default UA stylesheet, then we could make buttons focusable even on Mac platform, as they won't be showing any focus ring (which I understand it's something people want to avoid).

This will differ from the general Mac platform behavior somehow, but will align us with other browsers (Firefox has recently changed this in Mac too).
Also current WebKit behavior on Mac (e.g. an <input> loses focus when you click a <button>) doesn't match exactly what happens in the Mac platform (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1699570#c1).
