Not necessarily. The clarity offered is helpful if you need to cite something, e.g. for a paper, and know exactly which page it's coming from - though this only works for book scans and is a somewhat specific use.
Or when you need everyone to have exactly the same words on exactly the same page. Quite helpful for standardization.

I should have said "unsuitable for anything that isn't printed matter", though. In the purely electronic world, there are much better ways of achieving the standardization you're talking about that don't come with the rather large downsides of PDFs.
