That’s the Hyper part of HTML, and what makes it special.

It’s made to pull in external resources (as opposed to other document formats like PDF).

Scripts, stylesheets, images, objects, favicons, etc. HTML is thematically similar.

No, HTML is fundamentally different because (for a static site without any JS dom manipulation) it has all the semantic content, while stylesheets, images, objects, etc. are just about presentation.
