Can't Obsidian export to a folder, and is anything missing when it does so? If not, at least they've got an escape hatch built in.

Even better, Obsidian notes are stored directly in folders on your device as plain text (markdown) files.
It's all there, nothing missing, and no annoying proprietary format.

Not only can you keep using them without the Obsidian application, you can even do so using a "dumb" text editor - though something that can handle markdown will give you a better experience.

That's good to know, I thought as much, but I think I was confusing Obsidian for Joplin.
