PDF is not meant to be edited, it’s meant to be a digital representation of physical paper.
The other problems are just people who don’t actually learn to use Microsoft Word, you certainly can add more words to spellcheck and you can change how images and text interact, the only thing I can think of that caused issues is at one point they changed the default, too many people never learned how to change the layout and keep expecting the old behavior after the change.
These people don’t want to hear it. They’re obsessed with the cult of hating Microsoft. If they said, software should be libre/open source and LibreOffice is superior in that regard, I could take them seriously.
That’s not the problem of a text editor from the 90s. That’s the problem of people who need that function. If only there were several fine tools for that function that already exist.
Microsoft word also doesn’t let me edit SOLIDWORKS files, and yet I somehow find it in my heart to not shit on word for this.
All the issues mentioned in the OP are longstanding issues with word. It’s not “just fine”. It’s really annoying.

Intended or not, millions of people have to edit millions of pdfs every day.
