Because it’s ridiculously hard to get text layouts out of latex, and the only feasible way, without reimplementing the layouting, is to export to svg and draw that - which requires a backend that knows how to draw svgs.  
Makie is getting both ways integrated tightly soon with:  
[GitHub - JuliaPlots/MakieTeX.jl: TeX integration in Makie](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/MakieTeX.jl) (svg route)  
[GitHub - Kolaru/MathTeXEngine.jl: A latex math mode engine in pure Julia.](https://github.com/Kolaru/MathTeXEngine.jl) (own parsing + layouting, thanks to @Kolaru )

A little teaser from @jules, who started a deeper integration of MathTexEngine:

```julia
lines(cumsum(randn(1000)),
    axis = (
        title = L"x + y - sin(x) × tan(y) + \sqrt{2}",
        xlabel = L"\lim_{x →\infty} A^j v_{(a + b)_k}^i \sqrt{2} x!= \sqrt{\frac{1+6}{4+a+g}}\int_{0}^{2π} \sin(x) dx",
        ylabel = L"x + y - sin(x) × tan(y) + \sqrt{2}",
    ),
    figure = (fontsize = 18, font = "NewCM10-Regular.otf")
)

```
