Which means asking questions like "this is 36 pixels high: is it a heading,; or is this just a landing page with big text?" etc. So maybe I lack imagination, but I don't see it being that easy a problem to solve from a UI point of view.

Yeah, you would still be able to just ignore all that – just like you can adjust each headline individually in InDesign – but that would only mean that you are an incompetent user of the software. A good WYSIWYG editor wouldn’t always have to produce great markup but a competent user of the software should be able to easily make it produce great markup.
I’m really not that sure why adding a GUI for semantics would be so hard, especially since existing concepts like paragraph or list styles already map very well to HTML concepts.
