This tweet, posted almost a month ago, stuck in my brain. It begs a question of where that HTML came from? CMS? JS Frameworks? Is it down to awful structure? HTML was never that semantic and promises of better never evolved. Living standard, no adaptation? HTML is anti-semantic!

We have some meaning and some structure, absolutely. So it's not useless, it's just limited. Divs are a great example. They do have a meaning: Division. But, 400 of them and meaning gets lost, so as you say, "not so much." So is it the over-div issue mostly for #a11y and HTML?
