Not that it makes it more open or less open, but how many different readers are compatible with epub and how many with AZW3 or kepub as a couple of examples current used formats?

It doesn't matter. All books can be read on any device via Alf, unless it is a library book and thus arguably immoral and outside the purview of Fair Use. In that case, you are limited to an ADE reader, since non-US libraries are not offering EPUBs, they are offering ADE EPUBs.
The EPUB "open standard" itself is inherently meaningless since AZW3/MOBI is just as "open".
