Why the Gemini author(s) decided to have some markdown but not more than
certain things, still puzzles me. I don't see how adding a few more styling
options would make the protocol unbearably heavy or malicious (the two
guiding principles of Gemini). This is something I note on my post on
Gemini you will probably never read, since it's stuck at draft stage since
more than a year ago.
As you noted, there's styling options from the past, "classic"
markdown among them, but the author(s) decided to go their own way.
I think this gives off their age to be below 37, if I had to guess.
