In other words, if a complete novice, knowing nothing about LaTeX and not having it on their machine ever, installed emacs and created an org mode file, could they export via latex to PDF? Could they export to html?
For HTML export, LaTeX may be required if you need math included as images, some MathML converters may need LaTeX as well. On the other hand MathJax relies on client JavaScript in browsers.
It is possible to convert HTML to PDF e.g. by printing it from a browser. Chrome/chromium have command line options to do it without starting GUI. Default CSS is likely not optimal for this workflow. Unless other factors are involved, I expect better quality of documents generated using LaTeX.
