Not everybody who's coding is doing it in a tech company on a complex multiple-person team project. I'm a software mechanic: I do really small scale tweaks for small businesses (I mean SMALL - my current project is for a business with one owner and 2 employees), non-profits, libraries, etc. In those use cases, there can be good business reasons to do things this way: Part of my current project is building something where odds are there won't be another tech person around regularly and it needs to last for several years (the information is evergreen). For something I want to run for 8+ years with minimum fuss that doesn't require storing user data and that may need to be ported from LMS to LMS or eCommerce platform to eCommerce platform/won't be broken by updates (because again, no regular dev to maintain it and check compatibility), using basic HTML, CSS, and even vanilla JS can make sense. I can write something in HTML/CSS/vanilla JS and it will probably run in browsers until the heat death of the universe.
