At the end of the day we’re structuring syntax in a file within the constraints of some compiler or interpreter, which itself is implemented as structured text.

Engineering is about keeping it simple. So I agree; we can avoid dozens of flavors of structured text (using up worker time to learn, compute cycles to use) and stick to general programming languages rather than prove how clever we can be by creating yet another tokenizer, parser, writer with some hand wavy, tangential connection to mathematical concepts.
