To be fair, the overwhelming majority of people regardless of age don't know what LaTeX or markdown are. Not the best examples. I'm a millennial with a 4 year STEM degree and I maybe used LaTeX once because it was required, and before Discord became a thing, I'd never heard of markdown. Most people who use Discord probably don't even know it supports markdown.
I agree that is a extreme example. That's precisely why I started with keyboard shortcuts. I don't think anyone is required to know LaTeX and Markdown, but it seems to me that fewer and fewer younger people know them. If there are fewer people who know the basics, there are proportionally fewer people who know the advanced ones.
