I believe I've read in various places that the difficulty of doing syntax highlighting fast enough is precisely why it isn't done via LSP. Am I right in thinking that the Semantic Tokens part of the spec (currently) falls short of saying "this is for all your syntax-highlighting needs, please go ahead and implement full-blown syntax highlighters using it" I definitely agree with you that the more we can share between different editors/IDEs the better.
