I think most people just don't care, although the a11y benefits are truely important. HTML isn't going anywhere and often you need JS to make things more accessible.

But like, most people just want a site to work and provide value, save them time etc and the way the site is built is entirely unimportant. I find myself moving towards that side despite being somewhat of a web purist for years.
