Are global button color variables useless?

    One of the things to tackle when developing with WordPress for me are the buttons.

    Why are the buttons colors in the global.scss, since they are not really working?

    When I want to change for instance –button–color-background: var(–global–color-secondary); in my root file to –button–color-background: red; it is not working, also not when changing the variable –global–color-secondary to another color. Buttons use the variable –global–color-primary, but that changes also other elements that use the primary color.

    Other variables like –button–border-width do work.

    Would it be for the future better if there is an easier solution for the buttons.
    Able to use variables.
    Or for instance when I change the button colors in the editor, that it would be possible to also change the hover, active etc. options.

    Is theme.json a path/direction wordpress is taking to make themes (buttons) easier/ more customizable?
