\begin{equation}
1 != 2
\end{equation}
does not start new paragraph in LaTeX and formats expression as a
separate block in display math mode similar to \[ \]. However in Org
\begin{equation} starts block element, so terminates preceding
paragraph. At the same time Org export backend is transparent enough, so
Org paragraphs separated by equation blocks may become parts of single
paragraphs in LaTeX.
So formatting paragraphs properly by LaTeX does not depend whether \[ \]
is treated as inline object or as block-level element in Org. I really
do not see a reason for idiosyncrasy that markup intended to add LaTeX
snippet that looks like exactly as LaTeX commands for this purpose and
even actually preserved during export to LaTeX should have different
semantics for Org parser. It is rather a source of confusion and nothing
more.
