I think it's just a matter of how different people figure the cost:benefit ratio. Some folks are disturbed by the slightest mark or smudge, and will fixate on it to the point that it harms their reading experience (no matter where the mark is, over text or on the periphery). For them, the time saved with touchscreen navigation for the occasional word lookup or footnote will be outweighed by the time spent constantly cleaning it.
