Author here: Absolutely. Or how apps like Notion "eat" Markdown, turning it into Rich text when you paste it in but then if you copy the text you pasted, you don't get the Markdown copy but instead get their rich text conversion. Also amazes me how Markdown basically has become a generic term—Slack referred to their plain text markup as "markdown" when it was actually closer to Textile (with single underscores for italics and single asterisks for bold, versus single of either for Markdown italics and double of either for bold). That's perhaps the greatest downside to Markdown is that you have to almost check your copy and see how it looks in many web apps (seems native Mac/iOS apps are more likely to implement it well).
