You're missing a bit the point. Markdown is today a family of flavors and tools, not just the original format made 2 decades ago. Yes, not all flavors have the same syntax, not all tools have the same abilities. Markdown-family today is quite chaotic, but also moving and consolidating. It's constantly evolving and moving forward. And while org-mode in it's single-app-cage provides a better offer in it's specific focus of abilities, markdown is not worse in general and also beats org-mode in other aspects. And in the meanwhile we also have tools emerging which start to beat org-mode&emacs even in their own strong points.
