Question on `appearance: none`

Advanced form styling 1 poses this question:

Once you’ve removed the native styling, you’ll need to add back one of the features it was providing, to keep the same look and feel we originally had. How do you do this?

Which feature is being implied here? I thought it could be the close button but Chromium seems to preserve it. Is it about the rounded corners?

Only five features are spec’ed and all seem to be preserved even with appearance: none.
