But they are a lot easier to see and click (accessibility, larger hit area).

You could have a larger text instead of a button, but changing font size is also HTML and not plain-text anymore.

Every MUA I've used allows the reader to set a font size, so changing font sizes is 100% a feature of plain-text emails. Then they get the link the size they need to read it correctly and it's absolutely easy to read. This here comment is pain text. Is it hard to read this link:

I don't think so. I certainly didn't have to resort to HTML to make that link readable and clickable.

I don’t have problems seeing and clicking normal text, thank you very much. I don’t want buttons on my emails.

You can just send a link, and the user's client will probably highlight it even if it is plain text.
