If we write HTML that has no content just the head title body and metadata with script and style elements to external style and script is it really a hypertext markup language at that point?

Absolutely - you apply markup to e.g. the metadata.

But there's no content in the document is being generated so my question is then is it accessible is it portable is it searchable what barriers to entry might there be? What good is metadata if you have no data? LOL food for thought

Good questions. But metadata is in itself ...data. So you can have applications where where the existence of such an html file corresponds to a logical 'true'. The metadata describe conditions, A, B, C, and D, and the existence of the file expressed a validation.
