I think its because both <blink> and <marquee> no longer work in modern browsers consistently.

Also, fun thing I noticed, if you google for <marquee> a part of the results page scrolls side to side, like marquee would!

<blink> and <marquee> tags can be targeted in a CSS stylesheet in modern browsers. So you can still have <blink> tags that blink without JavaScript.

I imagine you might be able to pull off <marquee> tags without additional markup, but I'm not sure.

I try to mainly use DDG nowadays, but man I love some of the little things Google has done.
