You can put ads into terribly formatted PDFs too

In theory, yes, but the parent comment is talking about what they've frequently encountered in practice. Maybe there's reason to expect that having a lot more PDFs of menus might not result in a similar experience, but it doesn't seem obvious to me at least
Yes, and you can strap jet engines onto horses at the race track.

No one does either of those, IRL.
