Not dead, but under severe attack. We can and will fightback

Can you elaborate a bit why? I've don't think I've seen a time where most sites were generally semantic
Accessibility is the main reason, I believe
Search engines, screen readers, ancient browsers, future browsers, etc.

The important concept is that HTML tags should convey the meaning of its content, rather than merely being a target for CSS to define its appearance.
