Python is only there if you are on an Unix machine. If you are on Windows, that is not true. And if you are on Unix, then getting LaTeX is just a rpm/apt/homebrew command away.

It's not like it's saving me from having to learn something. If I have to deal with a new DSL that does not give any real advantage over a generic tool, what is the point?
