Nick, I am sorry, but I do not see your point. Do you know any reason
why Org properly escapes "<>&" in text but transparently passes them to
HTML inside LaTeX fragment? Does escaping them everywhere lead to problems?
From the referenced document (I posted this link on 2021-10-03):

I fail to see any reason to blame HTML. Any text markup language
requires some easily typed special characters. Org has one set of them,
HTML another one. Export backend should just respect delimeters of the
target format.
I understand expectations and thus complains of Rudolf. In my opinion he
has reasons to be disappointed (and maybe even angry to some degree). It
looks like a bug in Org that should be fixed. Workarounds exist but Org
should be more reliable.
