The causality you are assuming seems backward here. Activation behavior is triggered by clicks, so the sequence is roughly

User clicks (or .click is called) -> { activation behavior happens, "click" event triggered }

See https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/interaction.html#activation for the full sequence of steps
