When I worked at GDS the aim was to use PDF’s they were considered to have a long shelf life, where as HTML and the web in general can evolve and leave some people without a way to read it. I wonder whats changed?

PDFs aren't and have never been accessible, and PDFs aren't and have never been reactive. Administrations are just finding out how frustrating the format is.
