It was only there for styling purposes. <dialog> provides structural and accessibility information plus interactivity that previously required JavaScript. It comes with default styles but that's not the primary reason to use it.

What I mean to say is that language itself had decorative elements at one point. Like font and friends. At that point, it seemed a reasonable idea.

But now - UI elements are getting into HTML and at this point, it seems right. I'm not sure about the future.
