> Are you saying people use h3 in order to get its style

yes, and that people assume the purpose of having different tags is to control styling

I mean, they aren't wrong. That is part of the purpose. Of course now we try and do it via CSS but it's definitely still fine to use <b> as bold and <i> as italic, even if the semantic pedants will insist that they mean "Bring attention to" and "Idiomatic" (that name's stretched so thin you can see through it!).
