That's simply untrue. Look at any serious programming books. And LaTeX is used as the back-end for quite a number of text-processing tools.

Those written by academics, published by academic related editors, in old style layouts, black and white.

Professional publishing has long ago switched to DTP tooling, able to handle layouts and colouring in modern presses.

So DITA and Dockbook are other names for FrameMaker and Oxygen XML? No, of course they're not. I don't know why you continue to switch the topic.

They are industry standards for document interchange of books and technical documentation, handled by PageMaker and Oxygen XML, among many others supported by them.
