But there is nothing wrong on Org side per se, right? The fact that some
specific suggestion from the internet did not work for a specific
HTML that happened to be created by Org mode, does not mean that we need
to fix Org mode. Unless the change you suggest may benefit many Org
users, of course.

What would be the benefit of doing this beyond fixing your personal use case?
For other Org users.

Also, you can always use p > a CSS selector. What's wrong with that?
