PDF is the worst format in terms of support and compliance and accessibility but people like it because it feels immutable and like it will render the same everywhere (even though it often does it).
It would be neat if we could have a format that does the good things of PDF without the bad. SVG is close.
Why were they using Word format to begin with though? I send everything using PDF because proprietary formats suck

But PDF is a very proprietary format
It’s open at least, but so is doc. The only non-open ones I can think of are those weird encrypted epubs that require a license though.
Turns out people don’t want to use your format if only your tools can open it.
