I'll let Jonas comment as I am not sure I remember how we came up with
that design.

I see your point with the radio-buttons, but I am not entirely
convinced it would be good for the toolbar.
With radio buttons, using the arrows is the only way to focus another
button (when tab traversing only the selected radio-buttons of a group
gets focused).
