It feels like Markdown and Jupyter notebooks in on the path to merging, and markdown is like the dumbed (need a different word for this, simplicated (though that that word is cumbersome)) down yaml which is a simplicated xml.

Why don't we just go back to xml and provide decent structured editors?

Lack of high-quality free editors was a massive problem with xml, particularly when xsd was involved.

Yaml is now worse than the thing it was designed to replace. Rather than solve the real problem (ungood editors), we prop up and extend a janky solution.
