Yes. And that closeness also means that it's generally not so difficult to go from simple plain-text without markup to Markdown, and vice versa. > [ That's also why I tend to prefer Markdown for small documents, where > I tend to find Org's markup a bit too loud. ] Yes again. There are lots of nice, rendered or renderable fancy formats, including Org and Markdown, HTML, PDF, Info/TexInfo. Packages should, I think, be able to provide whatever they like, as long as they also provide some simple README. (And again, that simple, plain-text README need not try to say or do all that another format might do. IMO.)
