Well, if the publisher don't pay attention to what the author wants for his book, that's just a bad publisher. But we can't generalize saying that all publishers are bad, and don't know what they are doing... I totally agree with you that we should not impose this kind of thing to readers, but actually there IS situations where the content demands some level of control. Simply removing all of it by default doesn't make any sense. Until we have a software able to predict all types of formatting possible, it's better to leave the final decision in human hands – and brains, hopefully.
