The reason that some people care a lot about this is that they want to be able to annotate PDFs across systems and platforms, including mobile, and this will require being able to do it outside Zotero. Zotero isn’t going to have non-iOS mobile for a long time, I suspect. The save and extract features don’t work smoothly with Zotero (e.g. it would create duplicates with every annotation, and since Zotero annotations aren’t in the pdf, they can’t be read by other programs). Zotero devs don’t seem to care enough about this issue to accommodate non-iOS mobile users or people who just want to be able to annotate with programs other than Zotero.
