Um, well the layout is an integral part, no ifs or buts.
Comics are designed around pages, either single or double page spreads.
The art is designed around that exact size, and the page needs to be viewed as a whole. Modern comics do not tend to sit inside a regular arrangement of individual panels which can be shuffled around.
I think the issues around using a general purpose format would be things like margins, automatic headers and footers and so on, none of which are desirable when viewing what is basically a series of full screen images.
