I thought the idea behind primordial black holes was that they were what constituted the missing mass of dark matter?
It's possible primordial black holes could be dark matter, but there's only a certain mass range allowed, roughly around the mass of an asteroid, for example.
But somewhat confusingly, these would be poor candidates to seed these massive black holes.
