Using a web app framework to build a website means yea, you can use JavaScript to set where buttons are. I do believe it's mostly for like, calling a server to decide what text to out where

The div stuff is probably cruft, the sort of thing that could be removed but people don't because it might cause an issue that they wouldn't be able to catch because of all the different places html has to render
