The faster you get to what a user wants or has to review in an email, the more likely they’ll read it.

I read a lot of email on mobile, and PDFs on mobile are a terrible experience. If I see a PDF attachment in an email, I don't even bother opening it unless it's something I was expecting.

Fair point, and we do generate PDFs elsewhere for similar reports but the general feedback from users is that they want to have the data available directly in the email.
