If you think about how LaTeX has little to no use outside of certain sciences and maths in largely academic settings, then it's pretty obvious to understand that most people in publishing have very little interest in learning something entirely new when Word, which they've probably used for decades now, gets the job done just fine until they slap all of it into InDesign for the final typesetting anyway.
Besides, typed manuscripts often have little to no formatting anyway. They are essentially using Word as a "plain" text editor with red-lining built in.
- eyeundersand 5y ago> has little to no use outside of certain sciences and maths in largely academic settings This is just incorrect. TeX is typesetting software so it's extremely versatile and allows you to do a wide range of things that are not possible with WYSIWYG editors and Markdown.
