The issue is that the computer screen is not a paper form. You can't just fill out forms wherever you see dotted lines/horizontal rules(hr tags). Unlike paper pages, most of the HTML pages are read only / not content editable.

Yeah, my brief exploration with user feedback in a material style form of that sort returned of a lot expectations especially on HTML pages that the underlined things were "weird links" not editable form fields and they didn't know how to edit the content. Some of those were even Android users presumably seeing the same style of fields in their day-to-day apps. One said they hated it in Android apps too but had no way to control it.
