I really think you're wrong on this point. I have purchased several ebooks that I knew were in the public domain. I bought them because it was the only way I could find a copy. I have looked at the copyright pages of these ebooks. The publisher made no claim of copyright on the PD material, only on the parts added (like introduction, footnotes, pictures). Let me provide a similar example:
