If one has to go to software to read an ePub (whatever version) then why would one try to use it in the first place. For computers there are thousands of programs and formats that can embed music and videos - even MS Word can do this. Why bother with ePub?

ePub was designed for portable eReaders. While the first generations could play also MP3 (usable eg with audio books), most if not all newer generations dropped the audio support. So embedding audio won't work as intended on these newer devices. And at the refresh rates of eInk a video will be displayed like hell.
