The biggest three problems with PDFs as a format for Internet content are:

  1. The text display does not adapt to your window.

  2. Viewing the content requires running additional processes, adding CPU and memory usage.

  3. PDF viruses.

You pointed out (1), but (2) is no less annoying to me personally. That said: yeah, I got no control over this.
