Isn’t that just the same as the close buttons that have existed in desktop operating systems for decades?

I think people have long since learned that if an X is on the corner of a window, that is a button which closes that window.
Is it not just a circle shaped button?
They said it was a circle with a checkmark in it as an "OK" button, which is exactly what it is; they never said it was a radio button.
