My understanding is that developers usually hate the $ ... $ construction, as it breaks a lot of things; however, this is and will always be the default construct for people using math. Going \( ... \) is even unheard of by lots of daily LaTeX users... In any case, math researchers that would like to use Mattermost are definitely willing to sacrifice any kind of stability in favor of having inline latex. Hence in the meantime, maybe someone can provide us with a quick and dirty nonofficial patch that would enable that? That'd be rad.
