Sure. You're coming from a Unix perspective, where the paradigm is one tool for one job, and you combine tools via scripts to perform more complex tasks.
You're right: a collection of individual, specialized tools will do individual tasks better than a generalized tool.
But you must accumulate, maintain, and become proficient in that collection of tools.
For many users, an integrated tool like BD is a better option for the task of creating ebooks in multiple formats.
