NLTRN: Why play raise or fold from button?

[teteatot]

I've seen most of you advocate playing raise or fold from the button, and a lot of you are probably better than me, so I'm likely in the wrong, but I don't see why this way of playing is optimal. Against someone who is passive preflop but reasonably good, ok, I can understand playing raise or fold there. But against an agressive opponent who will raise limps frequently, it seems like a better strategy is to mix raising and limping your medium and strong hands, since then, you'll often have your opponent making his preflop raise and be out of position as well as have an inferior hand.

I'd appreciate to hear what you think is wrong with this reasoning.
