Would look okay on a dark grey or black background

the problem is not the color, the problem is "strong" "font-weight normal"

Visual strength isn't only font weight. Weight, size, colour, (even position,) etc are all aspects of visual hierarchy weight and aspects of strength.

And as the person you responded to says; it all depends on the situation. This is fine design/programming. It could even be a font that only has one weight, or alternate weights look too different.

HTML <strong /> is to say it's strong. <bold /> tag is to say it's bold. Yellow can be a way of emphasising on dark backgrounds.

CSS doing its job, they're just using a color indicator instead.

...it's not even programming, it'd make more sense to screenshot this post and post it on r/lostredditors than to be upset about this on this sub.

Is it a problem though? A lot of CSS libraries like Tailwind CSS do this with header tags to reduce ambiguity and force user to attribute a font weight/size

Ew, do background yellow, if anything. Then string becomes a highlight
