The standards, for HTML, are written very much with accessibility in mind,
but they have to react to de facto standards created by browser developers
interested in meeting market wants and getting to market quickly.  To me,
a lot or HTML standardisation has been rearguard actions to try an put
back the logic that the developers removed.

In principle, the same applies to CSS and SVG, but these tend to attract
presentationalist people, so are more likely to stray.
