>My only complaint is that Emacs is the only text editor that fully supports Org Mode. Other editors (e.g. vim, VSCode) support it too, with only to an extent.

My concern with org-mode is a superset of that. The only parser that fully supports org-mode is the one in org-mode itself. The ones not built into org-mode (pandoc, org-ruby, etc) all only support a subset of org's features. This makes writing anything to share in org-mode more difficult because you have to restrict yourself to writing in the subset of org-mode that e.g. pandoc supports.

That's why I laughed quietly to myself when I saw that the author had written, "Org mode is standardized". Org-mode is exactly as standardized as Markdown was when Gruber published Markdown.pl. There is one authoritative implementation (org-mode's elisp, Gruber's perl script), and to be "standard", all other implementations need bug-for-bug compatibility with the authoritative version. The only reason org-mode feels more standardized is that, currently, the only practical way to use org-mode is with the original implementation, in emacs. No doubt the original users of Markdown felt the same way, when using markdown.pl to format their blog posts.
