For better or worse, Org Mode is a feature-rich application, and org mode format is markup tied to that application. Using it as general-purpose markup is kind of a nice side effect of it being plaintext, and that even the portable subset is more feature-rich than most markup alternatives. For full compatibility, you'd have to port Org Mode to different editors, in the same way you'd port a native app between OS-es. Org Mode is very much an application that's making full use of its platform's specific features and APIs, except here the platform isn't Windows/Win32 API, but Emacs/Elisp.
