I still use lots of paper and PDF is the ideal format for it.

There are other formats for flowable text in screens.

The difficulty is that people don't worry about it and turn everything into PDF, even if it shouldn't. How many scientific papers are actually printed out for reading? Yet the huge majority of them are published as nothing but PDFs. Good luck reading one on mobile.

Most of them, conference proceedings by Springer and friends are still a thing.

I have Acrobat and Moon+ Reader on my mobile.
