Why not using Org mode files instead of Markdown files?

Because outside of the bubble not everyone knows or wants to use emacs. Markdown is a lot more well used.

Exactly this. HN really does exist in this weird bubble.

You are not required to use emacs for the org mode. Org files can be edited with any flat-text editor (e.g., Vim, Atom, or Visual Studio Code), and many have plugins that help create and manage Org files.

Almost all of those already fully support plain text and markdown without plugins. It's never gonna happen.
