I suppose by "internet" you mean "web" and in particular the fundamental problem you see is that LaTeX assumes the input contains everything needed for the final output, whereas hypertext on the web can be remixed in an open-ended way? I.e., it's hard to get pleasing results out of a process of composition of disparate LaTeX sources? Otherwise could you clarify the conflict you have in mind?

Minimal example: LaTeX embedding as practiced on the web doesn't reflow. TeX was intended for documents that knew their width, height, margins and etc.; no guarantees in a web page.
