I can see people wanting that, but then I'd have to wonder why they are using PDFs for that purpose and not something like Google Docs.

Think construction plans, PowerPoint presentations, contracts - there are many documents that don't fit the classical Word document model.

But why would one expect a browser to support that feature for PDFs?

You wouldn't, and it doesn't. But webapps and websites can usefully do it.

I wonder if the PDF file format is the best one for such kind of content

Turns out that it is - it's amazingly flexible and pretty much anything out there will be able to render it. There's practically no other formats that can claim that.
