The value attribute of Interface HTMLInputElement's description [1] says: The current form control value. Used for radio buttons and check boxes. See the value attribute definition in HTML 4.0. It is not used only for radio buttons and check boxes. It is used for most types of input elements, but it is mandatory only for radio buttons and check boxes. It is also used, for example, to specify the initial text in text input boxes or file uploads or the text on buttons.
