Its XML which requires a more difficult tree abstraction instead of a mapping/list abstraction
and the XML wraps html-formatted articles, so unless you hate yourself, you'll need to be embedding a browser for rendering, which means bundling a browser too (even on certain browser embed providing platforms like win32, since it still uses IE11 as its browser embed)
of course its easy to generate RSS.

and thats nevermind the whole impossibility of getting all articles without a daemon on a separate server, especially for high-volume feeds
