This just embeds a PDF on a webpage. What’s the difference to simply hosting a PDF publicly, seeing as any major browser today displays PDFs anyway?

technically, yes, it just display PDF on a webpage. It's faster to load (compared to G Drive) and the URL is owned by the user.

using G Drive, One Drive, etc, the URL is usually hard to remember
