I do get what you mean, and self-closing tags makes parsing HTML a royal pain... but it's been the status quo for decades now (self closing tags were in HTML 1.0 IIRC). It's not like they'll change it and break >90% of the internet† just to get rid of an oddity in the HTML spec.
† I do literally mean >90% - self closing tags are everywhere. They're in generated HTML, they're in manually created HTML, they're created by templating languages, and so on.
