What I imagined is browsers rendering the content with headings, quotes, etc. Browsers could have some default styles to render MD files. Those styles could be configurable the same way “Reading mode” is usually configurable.
The plain unstyled rendering of strings of text is, of course, available even now. That's why I'm saying this needs a browser-level support.

I get, that it feels simple compared to other software. Even more, MD was designed specifically to be simple!
But if you think about it, this is still too much complexity to just share some text.
With native browser support, you could run zero commands to build a website.
I think this is mostly important for regular users, not developers. Imagine if creating a Word document would require the same level of complexity as building a web page: I doubt that the format would be so popular as it is nowadays.
