I actually like this analogy a lot.
Typically starting out as a designer rather than a coder I found a lot of the time designs weren't actually feasible when coding, there were a few elements that weren't able to be transferred into code, or the design was to intricate or complicated to be coded as I'd initially hoped. So by learning basic HTML as a starting point, it helped me to develop a better sense of what works, I think.
Then of course, the ability to transfer that knowledge into templates themselves (and subsequently open up a wealth of opportunities for auctioning/selling templates) with HTML/CSS came with that.
