Sure it can! Here[1]'s an example of someone using it for html embedded in heredocs.

This is not a fundamental limitation. E.G. neovim uses lua. (I'm not counting python and lua embedded in vim, because afaik they're a total pain to work with.)
I actually recently started transitioning from vim to emacs recently, but I don't think any of your arguments in favour of it are particularly strong. I do, however, agree that vim and emacs are at the cutting-edge of text editing, possibly along with some more niche editors like vis, sam, and kakoune.
