Yes, it isn't a baseline. I'm talking about what is, not what should be. In some (large) circles using HTML or CSS is regarded akin to writing machine instructions rather than python. It should be avoided because no one understands it and you'll create a maintenance problem.

Wow. I wonder who are those people in those circles. They clearly have no clue about frontend development, because a decent abstraction layer on top of those “low-level” instructions has never materialized. 100% of frameworks and renderers do leak abstraction and you have to deal with HTML and CSS anyway at some point.
