The decision by other ebook publishers to release their works, or the works of their authors in Plucker format isn't something we can control.
But what makes you think that Plucker's format is any less open than HTML or text? Its
fully documented and open for anyone to use and enhance. OpenReader, for example, proposes that it
will include standards, but it is still in development, and doesn't exist yet.
Plucker's format exists today, and can be used today.
I'm all for using what works and includes standards, but we can't exactly use and embrace something that doesn't exist yet.
