Yes, PDF is for consistent presentation, anywhere, any time, forever. Other formats are for content and other needs, including editing.
It's a question of the user's needs in that situation; to dismiss one or the other format or needs is just embracing ignorance as an easy solution.
However, if EPUB could get the precise formatting (maybe they already do), annotation, and long-term preservation correct, they could be all - or many - things to many people.

I think annotations also are not part of ePub they need to be part of a specification that build on epub. epub is the original. Long term preservation is there as long as you don't try to do complex formatting in CSS.
