This one is literally matching "innerHTML = X" and setting "setHTML(X)" instead. Not some complex data format transformation

But I can see what you mean, even if then it would still be better for it to print the code that does what you want (uses a few Wh) than doing the actual transformation itself (prone to mistakes, injection attacks, and uses however many tokens your input data is)

That can break the site if you do the find and replace blindly. The goal here is to do the refactor without breaking the site.
