> can't be bothered
This is it. Not only were web developers much more "bothered" with putting actual effort into trying to produce a considered product in the past, they did so without the tooling we take for granted today.
Half the projects I've worked on recently use contexualised i18n wrappers to process and output strings, or an equivalent custom generic React component, or similar. How simple would it be to add `lang=""` support to such a workflow, compared to what would have been involved in doing this 10 years ago (I'm aware this might seem exaggeration as 10+ years ago we still had similar stuff with gettext, et al—still used today by even Wordpress—but I'm more talking about recent changes to tooling-oriented frontend web development, which should in theory have made this type of stuff a lot easier).
