Modify Epub will remove L/R margins if they're in body {} but unfortunately not if if they're in a body class. IIRC there was some discussion about this a year ago but this is the current situation.

I can only guess at the answer to this...

The logical guess -- users have multiple devices and a setting of, let's say, 5pt may be perfect on a 600x800 Kobo Touch screen but would appear too small on a 1080x1440 Kobo Aura screen. Conversely the setting which best suits the Aura would be too big on the Touch. And if they're reading on a smartphone they probably want no margins at all.

The emotional guess -- users hate to have a supposed Kobo feature which appears to be 'not working'
