It doesn't. LaTeX does. Org clearly translates a_b_c as two consecutive
subscript components. Then LaTeX visually merges them.

Who knows what mode is appropriate? Certainly not Org.

Of course note, a\_b is not even a subscript. a\(_\text{b}\) is a robust
way to get "textual" subscript, which is the default for Org.

AFAIK, there is no way in LaTeX to get subscript without entering,
temporarily in this case, in math mode. Anyway, per \text{}, "b" is not
really in math mode, as you noticed.
