Not even considering the math formatting, Html is still lacking good footnotes, bibliographies, glossary generation, index generation, and table of context generation. Browsers also render things atrociously compared to a latex pdf.

There are third-party tools that do all of this.

A LaTeX-generated PDF does not render correctly at all for a blind user.

I'm not saying latex is exemplary in all forms. (I would also like to know if the big browsers render all web pages as accessible PDFs, though).

I simply meant that a plain html document + the browser leaves much to be desired for even non-technical documents.

Tbh, I would like to see a more advanced and open html-based ecosystem for documents. Latex has many watts, but also a lot of features.

The things that today do this will be all gone in ten years, or replaced with other things that will in turn be replaced ... LaTeX has been here for a long time, and has been strikingly stable.
