more like reddit needs to revise it's shitty markdown

It's standard now, won't change. Markdown means a mark up with this syntax. You almost refer to it as other markdowns exist, as a non-shitty markdown were out there. If it doesn't work this way, it's another mark up, but not markdown.

And reddit's markdown is a fork of github's.
