Markdown was never meant to be perfect. It was meant to be simple. It's actually so simple that I could teach my parents how to write a Markdown document in a few minutes. The fact that the author doesn't have to introduce what Markdown is, could give him a hint about why Markdown is not that bad. It's useable, super simple and stupid. It's so stupid that it's used. I don't think anyone wants to write the README in their GitHub repositories in LaTeX, or worse, in mdoc. I prefer a markup document I can learn in 3 min than a "perfect" markup language barely readable by humans, requiring people to read an obscure and painful documentation for days/weeks.
