I believe plaintext/markdown as a format is a bit overblown, though I am glad there is a wealth of tools and tips around it. Just as an example as a Hebrew speaker who regularly uses math - MD editors that support both RTL and math rendering are difficult to find. And that's squarely inside the domain of a "knowledge worker".

Emacs supports both RTL and math rendering (and not just in preview but inline too). I think this kind of flexibility is part of what is driving the popularity of plaintext… there are dozens of modern web apps for everything, but if you need an idiosyncratic combination of features, old-school tools are sometimes one of the better options.
