I routinely use em dashes. They are easy to type on Mac and Linux. Only Windows makes it a hurdle.

Did people not read articles and books with em-dashes before LLMs? Why are we pretending nobody used them before? It's one of the first things people learn to typeset properly when learning LaTeX for the first time, not to mention so many books we grew up reading used them regularly.
