I'm sure you're right, but I know publishers like Stackpole offer many of their books as topaz on Amazon but yet sell ePub's elsewhere, so they could offer a better format on Amazon (azw3). I would guess that they went the topaz/Amazon route first and have never bothered to update those copies now that they've spent the time/money to create ePub's for other outlets. Of course to the general user what format they're in doesn't likely matter in the least.
