I've wanted this when the primary requirement was a WYSIWYG editing experience acceptable to business users. Neither HTML nor Markdown were acceptable and while it's perhaps more accepted today, there are still huge audiences which won't touch anything looking like code. The options available generated terrible HTML on the backend that wouldn't roundtrip or resulted in problems when the overall site design was changed. I'm completely onboard with your feelings as a technical person.
Using Markdown as the storage format solved the problem because it is consistent and templates can easily be updated to support design updates. The problem is now finding a WYSIWYG editor that supports Markdown. I'm glad there is more going on this space, but StackOverflow helped me a lot with https://editor.stackoverflow.design/ https://editor.stackoverflow.design/.
