Why? People in general are not buying e-books based on format, but on the hardware that they own.

I just downloaded a book from the the Baen free library to my iPod touch. I got it in ePub, because that is my favorite reader on that device. I'm guessing everyone else does the same.
And if you own a reader that uses ePub, you buy ePub. If you own a Kindle, you buy from Amazon or you look for DRM free Mobipocket.

So yes, you do buy based on format. You went to Baen and bought by format. You did not just buy the eBook and get it automatically in your preferred format.
