The RTF, ePub and Mobi formats are all capable of being used to convert to other formats (the RTF provides for more conversion choices). It was a business decision... which I am also willing to reverse or amend, if I discover the decision was ill-advised.
I still think offering MS Reader is a good idea if Calibre can do the conversion without any hassle. There are those old Windows Mobile phones that still run MS Reader.

As for no eReader and no LRF, those choices I do agree with.
