It is largely a legacy from the times when org-element parser was not a thing. Maybe it is a time to upgrade the fontification according to our state-of-art parser? Instead of fontifying elements individually via regexps, we can leverage org-element-map, org-element-parse-buffer, org-element-cache, and jit-lock-mode. Each type of Org element/object can be assigned with a fontification function accepting a single argument - the element datum. Also, the fontification code can be move to a separate library. WDYT? Best, Ihor
