Agreed! Though, I do wonder how well CDFs translate to non-technical folks. Even if they don't know what a PDF is, they might have an intuitive sense due to having seen histograms. Relatedly, I also found out today that you can set cumulative=True in matplotlib histograms in order to get a (e)CDF.

plot of: 

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.hist(np.random.normal(0, 1, 10000), bins=51, cumulative=True, density=True, histtype="step")
ax.hist(np.random.normal(0.15, 1.1, 10000), bins=51, cumulative=True, density=True, histtype="step")
