Disagree. HTML is a fine output format, but one that can always be generated from plain text. HTML is a poor storage format for the editable 'raw' content itself.
Images, videos, and animations can all be done in markdown -- they're just references to files.
Even something as small as the the MathJax CDN getting retired means that I have old HTML notes which are now 'dead'. If I don't have the markdown/rmarkdown source for them, realistically, they're just not coming back.
