Because Smashwords doesn't care. Direct ePub uploading is what many authors and many customers have requested. I think it's the #1 requested feature.
If they can code a meatgrinder, there is no reason at all not to be able to code a direct upload that bypasses the meatgrinder, goes to the validation bit and if it passes, use the ePub with Calibre to make all the other formats. That would work best and it's not hard to do.
