Lack of knowledge, which is something that everyone has been guilty of at some point. Which I think is the whole point of having this forum, to help spread the knowledge that we all took the time to learn (sometimes the hard way) to those who aren't quite as far along as we are (I know I still have got a lot to learn). Plus many people expect their documents to look the same no matter what it's being viewed on, especially in publishing where WYSIWYG is almost a given. Unfortunately one of the problems I have with ePub is that so much the spec is optional (or outright ignored or broken) in the rendering engines, that it's impossible to know what something will look like in any specific reader just by looking at it in one.
