Your assumption is not entirely correct. As far as I have used the device, these annotations are visible and displayed correctly. I have loads of articles, and the highlights I made on the PC are visible on the Boox. There is no issue on that front, although these annotations are not editable.

The other way around, it is different: highlights made on the Boox are only visible on the PC after exporting from the Boox native app. The app then generates a second PDF, with annotations visible to other applications.

That said, you could easily install another piece of Android software to edit PDFs -- if you find one that works nicely with eInk of course. Different software, different functionalities.
