Exactly, there is a triangle of tradeoffs here: prettyness vs easyness vs responsiveness. You can only have 2 of them. pretty and easy is Latex. The reason people call CSS a nightmare is because responsiveness fundamentally makes it much more difficult to make a document pretty. So HTML+CSS gives you pretty + responsive or easy + responsive. That's not the same functionality as a pdf for a fixed scientific document.
