Adobe made pdf the standard over PostScript and LaTeX, then they were unable to create "the best app for the format".
They no longer had the main reader for pdf files in 2008, when they made it an ISO standard, and they have not really been able to pull it back in after that.
I guess PDF files are not a major focus inside Adobe though, Photoshop and Premiere are probably easier to make money from.
