Why is rotating a PDF and saving the PDF in that state not a native feature

Why don’t PCs natively rotate PDFs? On Macs, Preview does so many things that one would think is simple, and using Automator, I have been able to automate tonnes of workflows with PDFs. Meanwhile, my reception staff are on these $5,000 Surface Studio machines and whenever they rotate a PDF, it doesn’t save. I have access to the Creative Cloud for myself, but I’m not going to pay for a monthly subscription just so they can adjust PDFs, am I? This feels so basic. Surely there is an app that can manage PDFs that doesn’t require a monthly subscription.
