How is it harder to learn “want normal button” => <button type=“button”…> than “want normal button” => <div role=“button” tabindex=“0”…>, plus the javascript for keyboard access (plus css for at least the cursor), etc.?

Agreed. It's not hard and it's definitely not unreasonable to expect front-end developers to know the very basics of semantic HTML and accessibility standards. It's literally their jobs
