The button area actually extends past the graphical representation of the button. TO really increase the button size would be to increase the title bar size, which would really set evening off (including myself) into an enrage. I expect a general trend to actually start removing title bars and the min/max/close buttons all together and just have the window controlled by shortcuts and mouse/hand gestures.
