The purpose of web is to display various things and let the user interact with them. Nobody cares about true REST (modern day RESTful is a different thing), HATEOAS or semantic web. People tends to simplify things. We probably can live with just 7 html tags,<title>, <style>, <div>, <form>, <input>, <button>, <a> and CSS.
