And what takes that markup and actually executes it? Magical GUI
fairies? ;)

Markup is, by necessity, nothing more than a front-end for a
code-based GUI engine/toolkit/whatever-we-want-to-call-it. The GUI
toolkits will always be there whether it's the UI designers that use it
directly or the markup developers that use it directly.
