You are right, of course, that LibreOffice provides a useful "Export as PDF" function. But it may be worth mentioning that it is still useful to have a virtual PDF printer installed. If, for example, you are printing from LibreOffice as a brochure, you cannot see exactly what will happen using Page Preview, and there is no brochure option in Export as PDF. You can save a lot of wasted paper by creating test prints of your brochure as PDF using a virtual PDF printer.
