web idiots have been spouting such bullshit since the 'graceful degradation' days of html4. it's never come true, and it never will, because the "standards" put forth are anything but. what you are talking about is the web version of "the check is in the mail" and "it's not what it looks like"
While there is great reason to be pessemistic, in the end the situation is no different than in any other maker/coder/creator field: the tools to make the web really quite good have been there for years, but most people writing the pages are not motivated to make them suck less than the average, and so keep producing terrible <div> nests, etc, making all the nice stuff we're supposed to have a lot less useful.
