> it's totally possible to make a self-contained HTML page without using a JS framework of the day. It's going to be way easier to consume than a PDF.

Completely agree. For instance, NASA's APOD site[1] is a good example of something that'd be nontrivial using both an offline PDF and modern lightweight alternatives like Gemini, but works really well even without fancy modern design. Under 300kB including the image (HTML's under 6 kB) before gzipping.
