But what I'm seeing in ebooks is not the ability to easily change the formatting by changing the CSS, to make changes to the formatting you'd have to make serious and complex changes to the CSS.

The concerns aren't about the role of CSS, or what it is good for. The concerns is that content attributes are being delineated in the CSS and not the HTML.
I edit a great many books and my experience does not match yours. The things I generally wish to change are things like font size, indentation, and paragraph spacing, and that can pretty much always be done with a simple change to the CSS.

Can you give a practical example of the type of problems you're encountering? What have you wanted to change that required the complex edits you describe?
