Well, Markdown as a format is intended to be viewed rendered as HTML (or equivalent), and WYSIWYG means that the editing takes place in the rendered representation. Markdown is only a storage format then, that merely happens to also be human-readable. That the is rendered representation itself is not fixed and can be styled or themed independently is not a contradiction IMO. But call it what you want.
The main reason I’m interested in WYSIWYG editing for Markdown is that I find monospaced fonts to be too hard on the eyes for editing prose text of any length. But due to lists and code fragments and the like, just switching to a variable-width font in a plain-text editor is also not very practical.
