Pages needs to combine Grapher and Latex Input

This is more of a statement than a question. I use grapher to help me write equations and then export the latex output into Pages where it makes it into beautiful equations. For example, I use ^2 to make superscripts and _ to make subscripts, etc.

I really don't understand the latex language to write it from scratch by typing out the code to use it in Pages directly. It'd be great if Apple made it more user friendly.

In macOS 12.2.1 (Monterey), the Grapher application consistently crashes when double-clicked, so I cannot even use it. As the La/TeX packages that are necessary to integrate graphics into the document are not supported in the macOS equation editor, nor the La/TeX/MathML translator behind it, I very much doubt that the Pages team is going to act on your feedback sent from Pages > Provide Pages Feedback menu item.
