When you say "similar PC apps", do you mean other desktop publishing apps?
Because if not - if for example you mean word processors - you're not
comparing like with like.
Really DTP is essentially a graphics layout process where the graphics are
both images (proper) and the pictures of glyphs.
I do think that your problem is at least in part that you're expecting a DTP
package to export a structured document, which is not a very reasonable
expectation.
