Ask HN: Why doesn't Apple provide Xcode 27's markdown editor as a separate app?

Opening a .md file will load it into the WYSIWYG editor in Xcode.

But why doesn't Apple provide a standalone markdown editor app much like it provides a standalone FileMerge app?

.md files are mostly (only?) used by engineers. Why build and maintain a second app when you already have something that does the job sufficiently?

You don’t love it when you open a file that is randomly associated with Xcode and you see that icon start to bounce?
