Nothing against you, but it’s kind of depressing to me.

It’s easy to make this work without JS. It’s telling that this is the state of ‘HTML’. These skills are rusting away and it’s a sad thing.

Taking the survey myself definitely showed me my own HTML skills are rusty as a consequence of building JavaScript apps for the last decade.

The truth is that building web apps is a large and complex enough field that it's quite hard for a single person to master all of it, and I think we should normalize the fact that any single developer will have their areas of strength and weakness.

Agreed. I think the two of us can talk all day about the necessity of it becoming a “large and complex field”. I accept I am an old miser about it, but it is indeed the reality.
