I figure it's because: 1) ebooks don't have to go through as many channels to get published and so are not proofread closely enough.; 2) people are incompetent; or 3) both.
Let me run this example by you...
My wife bought an ebook called "The Negotiator" by Dee Henderson, published by Tyndale House Publishers. She already has physical copy.
In the physical copy, the first line in the prologue says:
Dynamite.
Where had he put the dynamite?
In the ebook, it says:
Dynamite. had he put the dynamite?
Needless to say, I broke the DRM on this book so that I could fix it.
Is this an ebook creation tool problem? No. My bet is that people just aren't checking their work to make sure their ebooks have chapter markers.
