Since when is UX the cause of a need for third-party plugins?
LaTeX is an incredibly mature puece of software, since it exists for some 50 years and is (and was) incredibly popular. Of vourse newer players won’t have as much ready-made plugins, let alone first-party pavkages for most stuff.
Latex surely had the exact same issue when it wasn’t as mature as it is today, but in time people wrote plugins and in more time they were included as defaults.
Comparing them quality-wise on equal footing and proclaiming Latex better than the younger, less popular alternative with less developed community code is disingenuous at best.
And UI/UX has absolutely nothing to do with styling: both are features, and one product happens to have one while the other happens to have the other.
