Those elements usually have a stylistic effect, but in modern HTML
they just have a semantic meaning. Also, they're not any more special
than other elements that usually have a stylistic effect, such as the
s element, which usually results in strike-through text.
The HTML standard notes that "style sheets can be used to format b
elements, just like any other element can be restyled. Thus, it is not
the case that content in b elements will necessarily be boldened [1]."
