You can't open it on a pc without first loading special software for it.
Which is not true of several other formats.
What formats don't you need special software for?

You need a text editor/program to read text files. Notepad will do that.

You need a web browser to read HTML/CSS and Internet Explorer will do that.

You need special software to read just about any format other than text or HTML. By special software, I mean software that does not come with the operating system.
