Valid point. Ironically the main benefit of semantic markup is now an abstraction to help the human developers effect styling and control.

Isn't the main benefit of semantic markup still accessibility?

That’s one of the main benefits, but if the machine can make sense of the content, it can still present it however is clearest for the user.

But explicit, human-verified metadata is always going to beat inferred, fuzzily-extracted data, surely?

Maybe in some cases, but that requires time and expertise. It may not be worth it in many cases.
