Why doesn’t html just have hcenter and vcenter tags or something?

HTML is a markup language, its purpose is to structure documents, while CSS can be seen as an additional layer that allows you to style and alter the layout of HTML documents. Because of this philosophy, it wouldn't make any sense to have such tags.
