Fraktur at one point was genuinely a different script

You can find texts in the late 1500-early 1900s at least that will switch to a fraktur style when quoting or using German.

ANSI escape codes even accommodates for it. Codepoint 20: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Select_Grap...

Don't ask me why, I only work here.

I also don't find any of my predictions defensible as much as I believe they're inevitable. Again I've got no agency here.
