Its completely trivial to export orgmode to markdown either as a process or just whenever you copy to the clipboard.

Completely trivial isn't a big barrier to interoperation.

Sure but each "completely trivial" step adds complexity to the overall process, which makes it brittle.

I'd rather just write in markdown than have to spend hours upon hours reading the awful emacs docs. I have a thousand things to do and no time.

Org might be better, but it's not better enough.
