One way to think about it: it's not about input / output but about format. 
HTML has <div> and <span> in its definition, that's not optional; Pandoc's 
internal representation (AST) has Div and Span elements, that's not 
optional. But whether markdown includes Div / Span syntax ('native_divs' 
and 'native_spans') is optional, hence the option is on the markdown 
format, not on the html format. 

For example if you were writing *to* markdown you could remove Div and 
Spans with pandoc  -t markdown-native_divs-native_spans
