maybe its "ivory-tower thinking" in the end... that idea alwasy appealed to me to he honest... i guess the thing is its only one small facet of web development, not the whole thing

Same here, I spent so much time making semantic html that felt great but in the end was never consumed semantically by anyone or anything.

Only benefit I get out of keeping my HTML semantic these days is that using 1 div instead of 10 has a big impact on UI performance. Draw fewer DOM nodes is still one of the best bang for buck optimisations you can do.

Semantic HTML is a pretty important part of making your site accessible. Screen readers have likely consumed that HTML plenty of times.
