I find that the same issue is made worse when using a service like Instapaper to store content for reading on other devices later. The pull quotes read like an emphasized point, when in fact they're just text I'm about to re-read or have already read. This breaks the flow of reading by pulling me away from the author's intended order and pushes me to some other part of the article.
Removal of pull quotes entirely would be a Quality of Life improvement in such a case.
