Abstracting away previews is certainly welcome.
RMS explicitly asked Org mode team to work towards this goal:
https://list.orgmode.org/E1kIkxv-0007iy-Av@fencepost.gnu.org/

Ideally, we should have Org-independent library that does the previews,
and an Org-specific code that re-uses this library. Eventually, we can
move the generic library to Emacs core.

We may go even further, and extend the previews to be not just for
LaTeX. Might as well preview html/image links/pdf links/etc.
