For that they would need to support DITA and Docbook, which while not fancy around here, I imagine they are pretty much what most of those markets still use.

Markdown for those markets just won't do it.

Tooling like Oxygen XML still seems to be quite common.

The fact they mention XML a few times on the page prompted that idea. But on closer read it seems that they're using XML for some narrow needs and do not plan on general XML-heavy workflows.
