You seem to be talking about programming a web site, not writing text?
The vast majority of text out there on the web is produced in a WYSIWYG
editor of some kind or another, for instance the JS-based editor in
Wordpress or any of a number of editors inside other CMS systems.

Editing text for publication is far from a niche thing, and HTML is the
common serialisation format.
