>PDF seems to fit a world-view where the highest objective of a document is to be printed on paper.
I've seen this in academia as well. And, inspired by PoC||GTFO, I've been thinking about downloading academic PDFs, writing a web server that provides an interactive model of the topic in the paper, patching it into the PDF to turn it into a polyglot, and then re-uploading the PDFs. This way people who want their PDFs can have it, those who want something a little more modern can have that simply by interpreting the exact same file as a bash script, and I get to understand the paper by modeling it.
