How come Android doesn't have a built in PDF viewer? - eviltoast

Forgive me for this stupid question. I just transitioned from iPhone to Pixel (GrapheneOS) and I’m curious why there isn’t a built in PDF viewer like on iPhone? It feels like you have to open things externally pretty often, but I figure there’s a reason for that. I haven’t used Android in many years and I recently developed an interest for the technical aspects of things, so again, do forgive this beginners question.

Cheers y’all!

    Page scrolling works fine and dark mode doesn’t make sense…

      Dark mode really starts to make sense when you’re looking at documents for 7-10 hrs/day almost every other day for a month or two
