Why are you against Pdf files?

Edit: Though reading my question out loud I get it...

    "Now?"

    PDF files have been widely hated for as long as they have existed. They're good for printing and not much else. Definitely not a user-friendly substitute for a text file or web page.

    The are a requirement for distributing a document that has to look the same on every device. I don't love them and Adobe can go take a flying fuck but if I NEED to make sure that my boss doesn't alter a document it has to be a PDF.

    Just don't like opening on phone, my browser doesn't open, so it asks to download, then i end up with a bunch of random useless files there. Don't u skip search results that lead to pdfs?

    I actively search for them, moonreader catalogs everything. Having about half a TB on the phone file system also helps, but to be fair, since 2016 I never have filled any phone file system in a meaningful way
