You missed the "new directives" part. I do recommend reading their
NEWS to get the idea of the rate at which new features are added to
Texinfo.

GNU Manuals use a large portion of what Texinfo provides, and limiting
what they could use when they write in Org would mean some Texinfo
features cannot be used that way, which is a disadvantage. People
will have to think twice before they switch to Org, because at some
point they might want to use a feature you decided not to support.

Because the production rules are much more complex. I suggest to take
a look at the Perl source code of texi2any to see what it entails.
