Personal use?... knock yourself out. But if I bought an ebook that was littered with invisible soft-hyphens (or their entity equivalent), I'd probably be asking for a refund.

Well, ebooks in azw format are proprietary to the kindle world. Kindle does not hypenate itself but it manages soft-hypenation AND search functions. In the .epub world shy may break device's search (I'll take your words), but they are also unnecessary because (I believe) all epub e-reader can handle hypenation, can't they?
So, it seems they are two well separated worlds.
In any case, no worries: I'm not a publisher, just a reader.
It's that I value, for the pleasure of reading, much much much more a well balanced "written page" that I "use" 99.9% of the time while using my reader, than a search function that I use only sometimes, to say the least.
But that's just me. I agree that the approach of demanding to an ebook reader to be able to hypenate itself makes much more sense.
