Saying that PDF's are needed by Government Websites is a very circular
argument for allowing them - why are they needed? In my experience it is
only ever because of laziness or poorly designed workflows, and as you
point out, we all hate them, especially when they cannot be opened/read.

I have worked for an organization that uses PDF's in their loan
application process. They have to send some of the filled out forms
into the Small Bu and therefore they have to follow a specific format
for the forms. It would be confusing and time consuming to create
multiple versions of the form--since if anything ever went to court they
would need a copy of the exact form a user filled out--not one where the
information had been transfered over to a new form.
If anyone is interested in reading, here is an Adobe article on PDF
accessibility.
