Why is the Multilevel Back Button a link and not a button?

I had assumed that buttons are more appropriate for on-page operations while links are for navigation. I had expected the back button to have the “button” tag instead of an “a” tag.

The other parts of the nestable menu such as the dropdown caret have a button tag as expected.
