<em> is no more “logical” than <i>.
You can redefine either or both to be expressed however you like in css.
Anyway, I don’t see <i> or <b> not working anytime soon, so I will keep using them. One of the first things I do when I check over a book is convert em and strong to i and b. I hate longwinded code that clutters up text. The same reason we use figures to do maths and not words. Simpler notation makes for more clarity.
When I use <i> it’s because I want italics. So <i>is more logical for me. If someone wants to convert that to flashing green or whatever, that’s fine. They can add a line to the css.
