> PDFs inherently are a markup / xml format

This is false. PDFs are an object graph containing imperative-style drawing instructions (among many other things). There’s a way to add structural information on top (akin to an HTML document structure), but that’s completely optional and only serves as auxiliary metadata, it’s not at the core of the PDF format.
