i have to say, Preview makes it very easy to highlight and remove / recombine pages. just use the thumbnail sidebar. i use it often!

Yes, and tools like PDF Expert or Highlights go even further with notes exporting, url schemes, or split view. All that info still needs to go somewhere, ideally keeping a link between the original file and these ‘byproducts of reading’ - that’s been the biggest barrier/timesuck.
