--- Comment #3 from JDT <johndoetoe at protonmail.ch> ---
I suspect the design decision is tied to either
1) adding the ability to read and mark up all sorts of documents or
2) imitate some PDF library programs that do the same thing (in order to make
it easier to search annotations across an entire library)

Whatever the design motivation, until there's a way to embed stuff back into
the PDF, it effectively makes PDFs used with Okular into a Non Portable
Document Format. Kind of an ironic decision when the source is open but it
makes the format closed.
