But why should you need to convert it? Why does no one call out the giant problem with Markdown: the lack of READERS?

I rarely need to convert markdown documents, but sometimes I need to produce a report for a client or a non-technical internal reader.
Exactly. The problem isn't converting; it's viewing.
People read documents, not formats.
Exactly. So why are we supposed to read Markdown full of embedded codes?
