^Your opinion on HTML is irrelevant and beside the point.
99% of the internet is made of hypertextual, stylized content, not of "rich applications". Thus most of the work of a browser is to implement the standard for hypertextual content that web developers can code to.

That isn't where the future is headed.  We are constantly trying to force HTML to do things it was not meant to do.  Heavy use of Javascript to manipulate DOM objects is terrible.  You might not see it, but HTML is god awfu.  Hell, the site you are on right now makes heavy usage of Javascript, manipulating the archaic HTML to do its bidding.
