PDF is fine as output format and for archiving.
Thing is people want to do bunch of things they shouldn’t with PDF like automated parsing, editing or adding forms to it.
Ideally you should have an API or other structured data to pass around but of course life is more complicated. Like PDF is all you get because API would cost more than it makes sense to do bad job parsing PDF.
