But it is a programming language. Do people program with it? Yes. Is it a language? Yes. Then it is a programming language 😊

You are wrong. It is a language but not a programming language because does not contain programming logic.
Sorry 😐

It wasn't an opinion but a fact. You can ignore it if you want, but still being true.

I'm not saying it's true or false. You are providing a definition of what a programming language is, and I agree that, within that definition, HTML is not a programming language. Then I am providing a different definition of what a programming language is which would include HTML, and you disagree with it. And that's Ok. Other people will disagree with both of us and say that Turing-completeness is what really defines a programming language. Others will say that programming languages can be Turing-complete or not. You say your definition of a programming language is the correct one (opinion), I say I find it too restrictive (opinion). We can agree to disagree.
