(shrugs) Different people have different needs. There is a reason why people like the Kobo line. One is that there is a lot of customization options. People have developed hacks to customize fonts and line spacing for the Kindle and the Nook. It might be a small subset of the population, but there are folks who prefer to have that degree of control. That is why Sigil exists. It is why Calibre has font and customization options. Because there is a market for it.
I have been guilty of doing the same thing. I remember posting wondering why people cared about an SD card slot or replaceable battery or that touch screens are evil and you are all weird. What comes down to is that different people have different things that they want in an e-reader and who cares? If someone wants to 15 fonts and very specific line spacing controls, more power to them. If others don't, good for them.
Although I still don't get how people who are willing to hack their e-readers and do all sorts of other technical stuff complain about walled gardens. Obviously they know about DRM stripping and can use Calibre so I fail to see how a "walled garden" exists for them. But that is a different topic. I swear it is code for "I don't like this company and I need a reason to not buy their product other then saying I don't like this company".
