I totally agree.

By the way... I have written some code to export the citations using
make4ht. It's just a proof of concept, and not too elegant I'm afraid.
But I wanted to explore a bit more the use of make4ht in this context.

The idea is to write the citations in Org as mere bibLaTeX commands, but
between !!- ... -!! (a provisional regexp, for convenience, and to see
if it works). It can be tested in this Org file, which includes the code
(you have to give a value to the variables `bib' and `preamble'):
