If the semantic content of the message is within the scope of HTMl then HTML is fine.

But for mathematics I want to use MathML. I can in simple (and even not
so simple) then I can make something that _looks_ more or less like
Mathematics by using css javascript and random font changes, but the
MathML file is far more useful.

So do I. It was, and it still is.
But many people saw the need for something else, in addition to HTML:
A cut down "SGML for the Web"
The initial promise as XML as a language for the web is not met if the
XML is just a private internal format and the only thing thatgoes on teh
web is a presentation oriented downtranslation of that information to
HTML.
