Comment:

 This is a jQuery created element, and the value passed into jQuery to
 instantiate the element is created with closing tags. See this codepen for
 a very simplified example:

 https://codepen.io/joedolson/pen/GgpOqar

 The actual `button` element in this case doesn't have any text, because
 it's hidden and just used as a placeholder. But the created element is
 complete. jQuery is creating a DOM object, not raw HTML. This would only
 be self-closing if it was being inserted as HTML directly.

 So there is no actual issue here.
