As far as i know ... should only be used when after clicking the button an immediate input action from the user is required, not just when a dialog opens. So that would exclude the About button, which also opens a dialog but does not require futher action (except closing it). Settings/Preferences often don't have this as well.

This is a nice article about it: https://uxdesign.cc/dot-dot-dot-7ce6170bfc7f
