For HTML export, LaTeX may be required if you need math included as
images, some MathML converters may need LaTeX as well. On the other hand
MathJax relies on client JavaScript in browsers.
It is possible to convert HTML to PDF e.g. by printing it from a
browser. Chrome/chromium have command line options to do it without
starting GUI. Default CSS is likely not optimal for this workflow.
Unless other factors are involved, I expect better quality of documents
generated using LaTeX.
