Table Filters: Reset to defaults doesn't look like a button

Hello, the Reset to defaults button in the Table Filters example doesn't look like a button. Is there any reason behind this?

Because its meant to render as an anchor. You can add BTN classes to it to make it resemble a button. That said the anchor (link) aligns with general design standards for that use case (reset) but you can override easily by adding btn-.... class.

Having a button to 'reset' is a bad idea for many reasons.
Users can click it accidentally if it were a button. It would stand out as an action to do something.
It also can clutter the form if reset were a button.

Also, this could be by design, as all of these examples are exactly that: examples.
With multiple examples of filters, each reset only resets that form.
By not being a button and being small anchor text, its more difficult to accidentally click it by mistake.
