IIRC there was no notion of something like CSS when the web was invented
and most of what is written down in the HTML and JavaScript related
standards nowadays came out of proprietary extensions by Netscape and
MS. A lot is still not sufficiently supported consistently across the
main desktop browsers.
Not that I consider Flash a good thing, but that view you present
doesn't seem to match reality too well. But maybe that was intended :-)
