Because it looks better. I never said anything about battery or page turn speed.

A lot of people do not mind the way it is.

While a lot of people don't exactly mind, a lot would like more options to have smaller margins and lesser line height.

Worthless? Wow, did we scoop this low already? Take the widest margin setting for example. To you it is just a waste of so much screen estate, to someone else it can be the best setting since sliced bread. Who needs margins that wide? Or rather who needs text that narrow? A perfect setting if you don't want to move your eyes left and right. Can I personally read like that? No, and I am not interested in learning it either.

Yes, worthless. 100% worthless. Some books would just be a total nightmare to try to read at such a setting. I bet the percentage of people who like that setting would be less then 1.

It will only work if you add to the settings by adding a forth option - and you have the chance of confusing customers. Advanced settings? A nightmare for support. Someone will by accident get into the advanced settings, make their Kindle unusable to them, and then has to call Amazon to get it fixed. Take away a setting that has been on the Kindle since the first iteration, and you will have angry customers.

I'm not talking about any sort of advanced settings. I'm talking taking the setting that are there and changing them so those that like things as they are with the current smallest margins and the current line height can still have them and those that want smaller can also have them too.
