I don't know whether it opens them by default this way.
I've been switching so much back and forth between Sigil and various eReaders that I have not payed attention to what it opens with.
If 'Marvin formatting' is your preferred view it would indeed not be 'forcing', but if the original style included in the book is your preferred way of viewing a book but only want to change one aspect than that is not possible because switching to 'Marvin formatting' usually changes more than just that one aspect (or two)
I don't understand the reasoning behind restyling or ignoring included css in an ebook. Not saying Marvin completely ignores it but by always applying the configured font and margin size (the latter of which adds to the one specified in the book instead of replacing) , I cannot see if everything in the book is formatted as was intended. I expect an eReader to honour the included CSS. For instance, if a book has explicitly parts justified different from what the norm is for that book, e.g. a fully justified book with several parts deliberately left-aligned, than this difference is done away with by changing to 'Marvin formatting' if I have specify also justified in Marvin. Because Marvin overrules an explicit left-alignment but still honors centering and right-alignment.
