My (perhaps out-of-date) experience is that lots of recruitment agents, companies etc seem to expect CVs to be in Microsoft Word format, and so providing only a PDF may be an inconvenience to them.
Conversely, there are some niche places that look very favorably upon LaTeX CVs. It's important to know the culture.
At TrikeApps our job ads say "Choose an appropriate file format for your resume – we’ll draw conclusions about you from the tools you use". Anyone who expects us to prefer a proprietary file format over LaTeX or PDF is probably applying to the wrong place :)
An online HTML/JS CV resonated well for me. This was mostly the case with startups without specialized recruiters.
