You make many points here, but a lot of them boil down to "The layout couldn't be changed in a print book, so why should it be able to be changed in an ebook?"
For me, I want it changed because that's one of the reasons I read ebooks instead of paper books. Ebooks are easier on my eyes, mostly because I can change the font size and style. When books are formatted as you suggest, enlarging the font can make the layout almost unreadable, especially with fully justified text. You keep dismissing the statements of the people who say these things, saying that because we couldn't change it in print books we shouldn't expect to be able to in ebooks. What I'm telling you is that there are a large number of people who read ebooks because most print books are not comfortable for them to read.
If there is a design element that is changed to make large print books more readable, why would you NOT include that change in ebooks, since there are so many people who will change the font to a large size?
