As you have guessed, It is not my choice, it is interface of ox.el and 
org-element.el.

However if you strongly want to use proper terminology in markup, you 
may try to trade it for +your soul+ compatibility and portability 
issues. The following almost works:

#+begin_src elisp :results silent
  (defun orgia-link (link-data desc info)
    (let* ((backend-struct (plist-get info :back-end))
           (backend-name (org-export-backend-name backend-struct)))
      (or
       (org-export-custom-protocol-maybe link-data desc backend-name info)
       (let* ((parent (org-export-backend-parent backend-struct))
              (transcoders-alist (org-export-get-all-transcoders parent))
              (link-transcoder (alist-get 'link transcoders-alist)))
         (if link-transcoder
             (funcall link-transcoder link-data desc info)
           desc)))))

  (defun evilatex-emph (_emph content info)
    ;; I have no idea yet why newline is appended.
    (format "\\textit{%s}%%" content))

  (org-export-define-derived-backend 'evilatex 'latex
    :translate-alist '((emph . evilatex-emph)
                       (link . orgia-link)))
#+end_src

#+begin_src elisp
  (let ((org-export-with-broken-links 'mark))
    (org-export-string-as
     "An [[orgia:(italic () \"ex\")]]ample of <orgia:(emph () 
\"inter\")>word and [[http://te.st][link]] [[unknown:prefix][desc]]!"
     'evilatex t))
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: An \emph{ex}ample of \textit{inter}%
: word and \href{http://te.st}{link} [BROKEN LINK: unknown:prefix]!

Actually, I believe that something like orgia-link code should be added 
by `org-exprot-define-derived-backend' if "link" is missed in 
translate-alist. I suspect that `org-export-get-all-transcoders' may be 
avoided.

Sorry, I have not prepared better variant to solve comma in macro 
problem yet.
