Semantic meaning is what differentiates when to use one or the other of them and it has waffled back and forth repeatedly given changes in the living html spec. Some tags like u have even gone away and then brought back.
Quote:
(From the Mozilla Development Network)
It is often confusing to new developers why there are so many ways to express the same thing on a rendered website. <b> and <strong> are perhaps one of the most common sources of confusion, causing developers to ask "Should I use <b> or <strong>? Don't they both do the same thing?"
Not exactly. The <strong> element is for content that is of greater importance, while the <b> element is used to draw attention to text without indicating that it's more important.
It may help to realize that both are valid and semantic elements in HTML5 and that it's a coincidence that they both have the same default styling (boldface) in most browsers (although some older browsers actually underline <strong>). Each element is meant to be used in certain types of scenarios...

Since Sigil can not guess what semantic you want it defaults to the more generic tags.
Sigil will not be changing the tags based on current "fashion" once again.
You can do either of:
- Use Find and replace to swap those tags to anything you want
- Set up Clips to create the tags you prefer and assign them to clip icons so they can used just as easily as italic and bold icons now.
