You will if you want a job. Noone's hiring devs who only know html and css and don't want to learn anything else.

Brad Frost clearly doesn't want to learn anything else and apparently people keep hiring him.

There are the odd few, including Harry Roberts, but they're the exceptions. By and large, you're not getting into the industry knowing only html and css when (given the amount of easy-to-access online resource) it's so easy to find devs who will learn those plus more.
