Well yeah. Why is that horrifying? Give any Turing complete system whatsoever basic IO capabilities and you can make it compile C.

  Yes, but why is a document format turning-complete in the first place

    Because it evolved to also be a client-side form fill-in & validation etc. format. It’s quite similar to Javascript use for HTML forms.

    It’s often hard to make it not be. Heck, the fonts themselves are probably Turing complete.
