Why should the DOCTYPE of an HTML 5 be <!DOCTYPE HTML> and not <!DOCTYPE HTML 5>?

The standardizers wanted to simplify it (compared to how you were supposed to do it for the different modes/doctypes HTML 4.01 and XHTML had to offer). Slightly longer version: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp Addendum: ... HTML5 is the "living standard" of HTML, so we may never see an HTML 6 per se, depending on how the politics shake out.
