But in the pages I'm bothered about, a whole (or nearly whole) HTML page

is very lengthy, but you'll see what I mean - just search for a second

why do browsers allow this kind of mess to work?
Simply because authors publish that kind of mess. They have to for
backwards compatibility reasons. Unfortunately, the irreparable damage
has already been done. It is not practical for browsers to start
rejecting such content because to do so would break an infinite number
of legacy pages for users.
