It's like you read all the features of Obsidian, and posted them here so you could trick some dumb son-of-a-bitch into saying "Just use Obsidian!"
...wait

Yup. Does Obsidian support LaTeX though? I personally just use the built-in PDF export functionality when sending my working notes to people who main OneNote like fools, and use a little helper script that exports a LaTeX file from the md file then creates pdf with whatever template I want. I'm sure there's probably a LaTeX plugin for Obsidian though.
Fwiw, I landed on Obsidian for its ability to let me just paste in screenshots from clipboard and dump the file into an arbitrary attachments folder that I define, no other editor at the time handled images from clipboard that gracefully.
It seems like Obsidian is not free, or if there is a free version of it?
Obsidian is free. Syncing and publishing is not.
As @iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works said, it's free outside of their syncing and publishing stuff. It's markdown, so I just use git cli for "syncing". There's also git plugins for obsidian if that's more your speed.
I use mdbook for publishing, it's basically just an open source gitbook.
They have business/enterprise licensing as well, which is where I'd assume the bulk of their revenue comes from.
