You say that as if "championing multimedia ebooks" was a bad thing. Apple had development tools to allow people to easily create good multimedia books, and a free viewing app (iBooks) to display them long before any of the other players in the market did, and iBooks was also the first mainstream reading app to support ePub3.
I don't personally use iBooks, because I prefer to remove DRM from the books I buy, but Apple really can't be faulted for their innovation in supporting such things as ePub3.
