I find this hard to believe.  There is simply too much scientific
publishing infrastructure invested into LaTeX for the AMS, APS,
Springer-Verlag, and others to make the shift without a good reason.
There are literally 100's of LaTeX compatible packages for specialised
scientific typesetting (commutative diagrams, Feynman diagrams, etc)
that would need to be rewritten.
