CSS Selectors (https://drafts.csswg.org/selectors-4/#input-pseudos <https://drafts.csswg.org/selectors-4/#input-pseudos>) specifically states that the details of which elements match which state are host-language dependent.

I saw where it says "What constitutes an enabled state, a disabled state, and a user interface element is host-language-dependent” in the section you linked. I didn’t see anything specifically about that with regard to the checked state, or what makes :checked special compared to hover and :active and transitively :focus. What am I missing?

And anyway, Selectors 4 is a draft, which we are free to change.
