They are mostly annoying because your system is set up to handle the
links.  For someone whose only contact with LilyPond is by getting PDF
files, the principal annoyance is just the file size.  And if the
annoyance is enough to complain, the complaint can be addressed.

Now it is likely that our documentation does not make the information
regarding how to reduce the file size and/or remove the links
discoverable enough.  Spending more effort addressing this as a
documentation issue might make sense.
