An interesting take, thanks for the input! As a layman (pretty much), I had always a bit frowned upon reST since I never got used to syntax. That was probably because Markdown was already so popular when I started using it.
One little remark: You can still have highlighted math code blocks in gh's Markdown. The lang here is ```latex. Anyway, I see this might not be satisfactory.
