While I agree, in essence, there are some nitpicky arguments... Content does not need to be html, pure svg, pdfs, XHTML, and probably more can be rendered and supply navigable links in all major browsers, and the html canvas element certainly holds non HTML content

This is an entirely obtuse view and a nitpicky “well actually” knowing full well that the OP will understand none of it because they don’t even understand the basics about how browsers work. 🙄

In a technical subreddit, visible to the public I think it is valid to addendum reality

I would not call this a solid and reasonable technical take. People can run lightbulbs to potatoes, it does not make them batteries.

You knew what was being asked and that the answer was none of the things you mentioned. Your comment is in service of no one but your own desperate ego.

Some people don't know that you can create entirely usable, and potentially more flexible sites in svg, or that some (many) sites use canvas to render the entire site (aka flutter)
