IMHO, it's more likely that they don't like the fact that adding Charis SIL will significantly increase the size of a book without adding much value, and since Amazon needs to host all the books on their servers and server space costs money they most likely don't want publisher to embed full font sets, regardless of the font.

Charis SIL is a nice font, but, IMHO, it's not better than the default serif font, Caecilia, which has been optimized for eInk displays.
