TeX is 45 years old, and we have a lot of problems with it now because in 1978 it just wasn't really designed for stuff we need it to do in 2023. Plenty of people are working on alternatives to TeX that are suitable for use in 2023, which is *exactly the problem*, because they're not designing something that will be suitable for use in 2068
