> to have a set layout for printing or displaying on different devices.

That’s a horrible way to go about it. Already in the 90s it was clear that varying display sizes was a problem, and it has gotten orders of magnitudes worse since then.

The concept of a single set layout that is suitable for everyone is utterly absurd.

Then do not use a tool that was designed for typesetting printed pages which is what LaTex is for. The author of the article seems to think about LaTex only for math rendering. But that is just a fraction of what it is used for. Complex diagrams with tikz or typesetting entire books, so that adding content in an arbitrary place still makes the rest of the book look good without breaking layout are some of the examples of why I would use LaTex instead of html
