Why is that a weakness? Surely people can ignore the "info" file
format if they want to and focus on the HTML, DocBook and/or printed
(TeX) output?

There are some projects that you mention that could be useful. They
could be undertaken on their own and produce something useful:

* modify texi2any to have an option to output HTML5
* create a HTML documentation reader in JavaScript with advanced features
* work on distribution or installation of HTML files. for example,
this could be done by a GNU/Linux distribution that wants to make HTML
documentation available.
