Markdown is like Vim -- sure, it might speed up your output, if that's your sole focus. And its not meant to be adopted en masse. I'm a designer and relatively intelligent person by trade, and I have a difficult time with markdown. It requires me to have a guide open, to be able to write. No "normal folks" I know can decipher markdown. The trick is to make styling easy -- not to make styling an afterthought. The writer, writing on Medium, should recognize this.
