This is funny. I developed a pretty good competence in LaTeX to write my
thesis (which thanks to LaTeX, looked beautiful) and never once used
LaTeX again.
The biggest hurdle to these markup languages is collaborative documents
and that LaTeX and the like are impossible for collaborators to learn.
Yes, impossible, in the 0%-chance-of-ever-happening meaning. So you get
stuck with Word. This is the reality once you are passed writing term
papers.
