I still wonder why PDF remains so prevalent and why it can't just be a single SVG file for each page of the PDF.

There are many things that are missing with SVG. For example, putting all the pages in a single file, encryption, forms, etc.

Also note that different browsers might render and print the same SVG differently, which is not ideal for a print-oriented format.
