It's not even particularly accurate or nuanced in its history of Microsoft's actions and the doc formats, it doesn't mention any competitors, it doesn't mention anything about the history of type setting generally or more advanced projects like LaTex, and at a fundamental level, it's edited worse than my first year essays.
It spends like 2000 words just to say markdown good because it focuses on intent rather than a particular style.
