Inconsistent with LaTeX is not a sufficient reason for removing this, in
my opinion. Org has /dwim/ elements which make it easier to write some
expressions than in LaTeX. Another example is ~x^-1~ which works as I
want but would make no sense in LaTeX (where only the "-" would be
superscripted, not the 1).
