Partly it's what I'm used to, but I've yet to find anything "easier" for the large amount of mathematics I typeset. There is a lot of notation and very little graphics or difficult formatting.

I think LaTeX remains the go-to language for this kind of stuff. Certainly, every STEM academic I've worked with has used it.

There's nothing more suspicious than a math paper written in something besides TeX.

It's probably because the author needs to describe complex mathematics and DocBook is unable to describe mathematics[1]. I can't speak much about Publican however.
