If Microsoft had a Microsoft bookstore, using their own custom format, and providing a free tool that only produced that format, then no, I wouldn't have a problem.
The fact is, that if what you want to create is a normal ePub book which you COULD sell in another store, you'd be a fool to use iBooks Author, because it doesn't produce ePubs. The ONLY reason to use this tool is if you want to produce an enhanced eBook which will ONLY work in iBooks.
