There are a lot of button batteries out there with the same diameter

Can anyone explain why button cells are used in things that would take a

I'm forever changing the one in our bathroom scales.


Much higher energy density than alkaline. I'm surprised one in scales
doesn't last a long long time - do they light up or something?
