Yeah, "form handling" is something of an esoteric case that is difficult to fully support (well, easy if you're Adobe, I suppose).

Maybe, fortunately, most PDFs I consume are the reading kind.

That’s perfectly fair. But in that case, I’d argue Preview is not much better than the umpteen other apps that can do non-form editing.
