That's a valid point, it still is something you can do in a PDF just as well (and at least currently easier)

Having HLO and roll20 side-by-side would be simple enough?

You can't discount that not everyone has a modern wide screen setup, having two browsers next to each other is still something that, 1920 x 1080 is still a resolution more then 80% of people are stuck at [1]. At that resolution two tabs next to it would look like this:
which makes for a not that pleasant experience since side panel pinning is disabled so you got to fold and unfold constantly to move between pages. It also auto hides the modified quarantines like defense rolls unless you unfold them every click. So lets discount side by side as an option.
The alternative is two tabs, which leads to the workflow of:
1) switch from r20 tab to hlo tab
2) nativate to the right place, or add adjustments, or whatever is required
3) find the dice pool, memorize it
4) swap back to roll20, type the command with the memorized dice pool
The process of adding an adjustment isn't exactly "easy" or a pleasant UX either and I'd argue not worth it for a player that only needs to keep track of a single character. But quite useful if, as a GM you need to juggle a number of them.
1) click navigate char (top left)
2) scroll down to Adventuring
3) click Status Effects
4) click +
5) find the right effect
6) click the effect
6a) make sure not to accidentally click somewhere outside the box or it closes again)
7) click add and close
8) if needed adjust to the right level
