I don't know know if I missed it, it seems like author was really trying to cover all the arguments, but the Tex family languages are for hardcore typesetting automation. Author said all Latex docs have a characteristic look. And most typeset examples that I've seen on the web fit that description. Because for the most part they use the default settings, default libraries, and default fonts, etc. Maybe with some variation.
We can agree that everything that needs to be pinched and squeezed can be pinched and squeezed with Latex. So, creating stylish modern looking tables, full page width graphics overlayed with expensive commercial fonts, custom vector graphics and diagrams, is feasible. You would never even recognize it was done with latex. This makes sense at corporate scale painting reports, white papers, invoices, in company colors, logos, and styles. Churning hundreds of styled docs. That's the use case I see for Latex, but no one goes around showing these off, I assume because making styles like this is a job, and the styles themselves assets.
