I still don't understand why Windows doesn't include a pdf viewer and writer, like Linux and Mac.

Sure you do. PDF is a standard. MSFT can't control it, so it's not strategically important to them, and the consumer be damned. It's as simple as that.

They've always worked that way. Cross-platform standards that are out of their control are their enemy, as is the consumer.
