Something can be "not about UI" and "the most successful UI platform in the world" at the same time.

Point is, HTML is a document format, not a UI toolkit. That's how it was designed and that's how it continues to evolve.
This is probably not a ideal situation, but trying to change it now probably won't do any good.
