I suppose that form elements can be easily reordered even if form
elements are not LI-wrapped. Can't they?
yes, but my point was that a lot of js libraries base drag and drop
re-ordering of elements around list elements and not other elements. And
I have noticed a lot of form building services use lists to markup forms
because they require drag and drop re-ordering of form elements. So I'm
suggesting they are only using list elements because they can add drag
and drop easily by using an external library that supports it, not
because they think lists are necessarily a good markup choice.
