Why do they like it, when it's complicate (instead of easy) to create rich layouts for books with the full possibilities of modern HTML and CSS?
We read answers in this thread of a professionell who suffers because of the lack of standardconformity of the several devices. Which advantages do the producers of devices have by that suffering?

The short answer is that they believe (and I think they are correct) that they sell more ebooks at less cost this way. The long answer is, well, I find it quite unpleasant to talk about compared to other things I could do with my time. I would charge thousands of dollars for that answer. Folks without thousands of dollars should look elsewhere.
I think that the total number of people in the world who share your concerns and goals is less than the number of people commenting on this thread. I think you have gotten excellent responses and suggestions on how to approach your self-appointed task. In my view, you are unlikely to find better information anywhere else.
