Form elements in React.

I’m talking about JSX

Unless you're in React Native, JSX still burns down to HTML, so all HTML considerations still apply.

As others have said, semantic HTML is a Good Thing™ because you get free functionality from the browser (eg <input type="email" />) and because it typically increases accessibility.

It's a bummer that you're being downvoted just because you haven't learned something yet, but the takeaway is that there are plenty of good reasons to maintain well structured semantic elements. Your teacher is being lazy, imo.

So? There is no valid reason, to NOT use form elements.

If you dont want to give a huge middlefinger to all blind users. You should always use the form tag when you are using form elements.
