Why does FF not have a default stylesheet for many HTML elements?

As an example, create an .HTML file with <code> tags. These render as mere text unless a <style> tag is supplied. Why? Why not at least have some basic styles for each tag to differentiate them?

Unfortunately, this isn’t even trivial to remediate, per https://superuser.com/revisions/1365219/1#:~:text=For%20further%20settings%20you%20can%20type%20in%20color%20or%20font%20or%20size%20inside%20the%20searchbar.
