Uh-huh.
Because as retailers, they *know* what is selling and what isn't.
If you look at the parts of epub3 they implement and what they ignore it becomes clear they see no value in supporting those features at this time.
If those features ever become useful in making them money, then they'll support them.
If epub3 fails (it hasn't, yet) it would hardly be the first "universal" committee standard to be thoroughly ignored by the industry it is meant to support.
