Which programs/apps are you referring to with "all of them worth mentioning"?
I've been using TTS on Windows and Android for several years. As far as I can tell none of the TTS progs/apps pay any attention to which tags are used (<h1-6>, <em>, <i> etc) in the epub HTML.
What little "context intelligence" does exist in TTS seems to me to be dependent on the Voice you use to do the speaking and I'm not aware that any of the Voices I've used changed depending on HTML tag.
If you know different, I'm all ears, because I find the lack of progress over the last decade in TTS for Joe Public's own ebooks to be depressing. Too much money to be made selling Audible subscriptions using real voice artistes.

I see no evidence that your average TTS app for ebooks doesn't do exactly that, i.e. convert to txt before speaking.
