Does that accurately represent the issue?
The original link criticized PDF because
it was less accessible to visually-impaired users. They weren't diminishing what PDF does well, they were criticizing it for what it doesn't do and wasn't originally intended to do. And of course readers of this forum hold it's poor performance on eReaders against it also.
In your analogy, it should be perfectly proper to criticize the adoption of kerosene as a standard fuel because there are lots of people that drive cars that can't use it.
