Why does Ansible not provide documentation in PDF format?

Other software providers provide  manage to provide PDF versions.
Red Hat manages to provide PDF versions of their documentation and the 
Linux OS is not static and certainly more complex than Ansible.
Oracle provides PDF versions of their products documentation.
CFEngine provides PDF versions of their product documentation.

The vast majority of software providers manage to provide PDF versions of 
their software products.
 I can not think of any other software provider that does not provide PDF 
versions of documentation.

The Ansible Tower software has a PDF version of the documentation. That is 
not static.

I feel that the reason provided of "changes are constant" is not a real 
reason.

The online documentation is only available online and therefore somewhat 
limited.
The providing of PDF versions of documentation is really the professional 
thing to do.

Maybe it is worth having a re-think as to the reason why Ansible do not do 
this.
