As I am following this thread, I believe the confusion is with 2 things.

1. Adobe Reader Add-On opens up in IE or Firefox so it looks like it is a part of the browser.
2. All of the tagging is HTML based which adds more to the confusion.

Yet, as all folks mentioned on here, it is a binary file that is able to contain multiple types of media such as text, video, audio, images, etc.

With the help of XML, it can store HTML tags to provide an accessible content to ATs. That was the best work-around that they came up with for this file type.
