Tenured prof here. Academics don't use HTML, despite its obvious advantages. The incentive system is deeply broken. No big-name journal or conference will accept a well-formatted HTML over their proprietary Latex/Word format. Latex to PDF converters generally suck.

Arxiv already provide a HTML version of the articles [1]. The authors does not have to provide HTML version, it is converted by arxiv. i.e [2]
