My point is not that you can't do it. It is about what kind of abstractions people have hacked past to beat a document into behaving like an application.
That's why I think every couple of years people keep reinventing the wheel to accomplish the same basic things. JQuery-Ui, Sencha, Angular, React, Vue, Svelte etc... Inline styling was a sin. Then it's the recommended practise. Not even sure what's hip these days in what framework.There is a reason why your actual application abstractions get lost when you inspect an element in developer tools.
I'm well aware of button tags and i am also aware of the reasons why people styled div and anchor elements to behave like buttons in the codebases I've dealt with. They had good reasons why they did those things the way they did.
If you reread my above comment, You'd see how I've also mentioned the tradeoffs of actually using proper ui/application development libraries and frameworks to make "Web Applications".
But if one is making an electron application, search engine discoverability and content addressability bring absolutely nothing to the table and one might as well use a more appropriate framework.
