Trust me, nobody in the web development community uses HTML5 as a shorthand for that.

  Not anymore as it became ubiquitous for the things people actually develop in the webdev community, but it is still the term for what is being described I see your confusion and frustration now, just a misunderstanding

  Unless you are trying to pull a "No True Scotsman", I'm just going to prove you wrong by presenting myself as the counter-example. HTML is just the markup language, excluding CSS and JS. HTML5 is the basket of technologies that make "modern" web apps possible.

    That was true maybe 5–10 years ago. I’m saying that this term is no longer used today, in 2019. Do you seriously still use it in discussions with your colleagues, on social media, etc.?

      I'd be more likely to use "web app", "web platform" or "web technology" among developers. However, I never use the term "HTML" to refer to that. Among non-developers, using the term HTML5 is definitely common. To them, it's basically the distinction between "before Flash" and "after Flash".
