I think not having to balance headline length with underline length is a good plus. Also not having to memorise the hierarchy of underline characters is a good plus.
The format seems better suited to extension too with ways to have annotations or blocks

You can do headings in Markdown like org mode, just use # instead of *:
I rarely see the fiddly format in the wild, probably for the reasons you mentioned, and because it only allows H1 and H2: Of course there are lots of things org mode does better than Markdown, I'm just addressing the specific point you mentioned.
