I think you've missed the point that commercial web site developers do not
see the web in the way that Tim Berners-Lee did, as a way of making 
information available to all, but simply as a marketing tool.  (Unfortunately
public sector designers tend to ape commercial designers - possibly because
they want to get more lucrative jobs in commerce.   Also, at least in the UK,
there is a lot of outsourcing of government web sites to commercial designers,
e.g. I can no longer reccommend www.open.gov.uk.  That's consistent with
general policy on privatisation.)
