I wonder if the Excel export is retaining a lot of document structure in the event that it's imported back into Excel again at a later point.

Fun trivia: XLSX, DOCX, PPTX are just XML files, you can rename them to ".XML" file extension, to see their raw contents.
But you can use qpdf or PDFEdit to interpret a PDF's raw code.

And thus, you can compare the raw XLSX (XML) vs raw PDF.
