What I'm wondering though now is, why can't something like Calibre do the preprocessing into a high quality output format like PDF that's specifically tailored to the device it's being transferred to?

But we are not format shifting. That again is something different. We are talking about using the LaTex routines for hyphenation.
PDF is not a high quality format. In fact, it's NOT an eBook format. So let's leave PDF out of this. We are talking just reflowing formats like ePub. If we could get hyphenation added to ePub, it would be a lot nicer. Oh, one other thing ADE needs when dealing with full justification and that is variable width spaces.
