An HTML import uses the generic textimportoptions.ui; CSV is textimportcsv.ui
completely different GUI and data handling.

Hmm, not really. 

Importing sheet data from HTML is very much a corner case, in fact a user given
a preference shuold be picking TSV or CSV to assure data quality compared to a
table pulled from HTML.

Having the minimally intrusive textimportoptions.ui dialog [1][2][3] appear
when opening a non-CSV document, including HTML, into Calc is not the issue
here. Rather improving work flows for parsing complex CSV
