Likewise the scene adopted MKV and everybody else kept using MP4 or TS.

Container choices are way less important. You can convert losslessly from one to another.

Though Matroska is the clear winner in this regard.

I think that it did not spread more because initially most players could not seek in MKVs immediately but you had to wait for indexing first.

Is there any other format for multiple audio tracks/multiple subtitles?

MP4, IIRC - it can definitely do multiple audio tracks (iTunes uses it for AAC and AC3, for example), and I think it can do multiple subtitle tracks.

mp4, kind off. but tooling for matroska is much nicer, namely mkvtoolnix.

mov - though as the other comments mentioned, mp4 is a variant of mov anyway.
