Transcludes are not supported on the root element, you can't pass anything to it because index.html isn't part of angular. If you can't embed the html within another component then I wouldn't expect it to work with ng-content either.

From https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/1858#issuecomment-207993202

Components only work as components when referenced in the template of another component, yet they are expected to be used outside of this which causes confusion
