By your logic if I go out and buy an automobile that goes 1/2 as fast and gets less miles per gallon than another car, its FINE if the car seller charges the same price for both cars. They also have an option to show up at any time and take the car back without consulting you.
Whether anyone can take your ebook off your device depends on what device you have and what books you bought. If you have a connected device and get books via download from a retailer, the retailer might be able to do that. But this is the retailer doing it, not the publisher.
