Lots of html is nutty. For example, the claimed distinction between an apostrophe and a single close-quote. One shrugs one's shoulders and gets on with it.

I would suggest that shows a complete lack of awareness about people with accessibility issues. I was there not too long ago, then I was forced to become
aware… and now I care. Don’t feel lonely though - there are a lot of people that are unaware and don’t care.
The distinction is that the reading devices/apps can, and do, treat them (b/i, em/strong) differently. So, as a professional, it would be incumbent upon us to do things the
right way, rather than not.
