Because not everybody can compile my TeX documents on their machine.
In all seriousness, the only reason you should be using PDFs is if the exact presentation must be preserves. Basically, this means any documents which contain maths or figures or tables would be best constructed in TeX and turned into PDFs, so that you can control the exact presentation.
For anything else I strongly recommend people just use HTML! (Or something which can be turned into HTML.)
exact presentation definitely looks like the major reason for using pdf. I think I need to find an app that does pdf parsing similar to Pocket/ Instapaper and makes the pdf adaptable to smaller screens.
