What does it solve? I remember reading it was supposed to make the web easier, but it's just another transport and one could push JS, CSS, WASM, or anything through it. One could even extend chromium to support it as an alternative to HTTP.

I'm not entirely sure of its purpose.

It's not really designed to solve anything. It just exists. The cool thing about it is advertisements are not possible natively. There is also no JS. So no creepy ass trackers. It's basically like the very early days where JS or CSS was not a thing. Just markdown. With the additional security and privacy stuff of the modern web like encryption.
