 "Not readily available to end-users" as in "there is no button for it in
 the WordPress toolbar, so unless you know about the element and how to
 mark it up, you can't use it."

 ?

 be replacing the Underline button with a Highlight button. After all,
 highlighting has become really popular on Medium etc.
