No, they just think it does something for them. It's snake oil licensed by ebook vendors to gullible publishers who are afraid of their own customers. The vendors want it so that they can lock people into their devices, so they convince the publishers that they need it too. It's all a con that we (the consumers) have to pay higher prices for. The only people that benefit from it in any way are the ebook vendors.
