Some disagreement here. There are typographical features in
nroff/troff today which you don't get in web browsers: ligatures and
hyphenation for example.

Then of course there's the argument that "formatting flexibility"
isn't a good thing for reference manuals -- you want them to look
similar no matter who wrote them. (Not that all man pages look similar
in reality, but there are some pretty decent conventions which most
follow).
