absolutely true. there are many elements of traditional printing that have been refined independently of the technology, but as concessions to how the eye and brain function when reading. these are important to know and to preserve whatever the form (paper or digital). margins on ebooks may seem pointless to some however they considerably improve legibility of the text. this is not a subjective question.
