Tag <b> is ignored in mobile?

Question

I got an information, from a senior developer, that the tag <b> is ignored in mobile browsers, but I could not find this information anywhere on internet.

According to him, all mobile browsers uses the tag <b> on the entire page, so styling this tag take makes no sense, as it would style all page.

Is this true? Is there a reference on internet to confirm or deny this?
