But the root problem isn't the kludge, it's the lack of functionality in these systems: if Twitter etc. simply implemented some styling on their own, the whole thing would be a moot point. Essentially, this is trying to add features to Twitter without waiting for their development team.

Interoperability is not an issue, since in modern computers copying and pasting styled text between apps works just fine. 

Yep, that's what this is: trying to add features to some platforms that could very simply be added by the  respective developers while in the process causing a normalization issue (of sorts) everywhere else.
