Your entire argument was that it is trivial to determine. That being the case, I wonder why your opinion on that question was included along with said reasoning, in your answer 🤔.
Seems like it matters enough to warrant your default position. The reason people gate this way is to feel special. It's not rational.
The entire web was not built on notation or markdown. The interoperability with other languages (other, not actual), the inability to discover a solution to the need for HTML knowledgeable PROGRAMMERS, suggests it's a pretty important language.

To me it seems to be the other way around. Most programmers probably know that there's nothing special about being a Programmer™, but there's a constant push from HTML developers that want to be included in the group even though it seems factually wrong to many people, and my suspicion is that they want to feel special. Otherwise, why would they care at all?
And to repeat my point a bit more clearly: Reading a list of reasons why HTML might not be a programming language and reacting by calling that "gatekeeping" is toxic. Any reasonable person will just walk away from such a discussion, as they should, and only a few who argue from emotion will stay behind.
