Yes. And that closeness also means that it's
generally not so difficult to go from simple
plain-text without markup to Markdown, and
vice versa.

Yes again.
There are lots of nice, rendered or renderable
fancy formats, including Org and Markdown, HTML,
PDF, Info/TexInfo.
Packages should, I think, be able to provide
whatever they like, as long as they also provide
some simple README.
(And again, that simple, plain-text README need
not try to say or do all that another format
might do. IMO.)
