It is a pretty good main reason right now. There has been problems with small maps and such when the Voyage was new due to resolution, if I remember right. So until Amazon comes out with some new feature it doesn't have to reveal exactly what all the kfx format is capable of. So instead of frankensteining an old format to add device specific images, they simply made a new format that is doing it naturally.
There probably is more to the advanced typesetting engine as well once publishers have access to a tool to create the books themselves. Right now the advanced typesetting is added by Amazon to some books and not others without opting in or out from the publishers side. At least that is true for indies, especially in one case where I talked to the author/publisher (self-pubed) where the first 3 books in a series didn't get the advanced typesetting, but the 4th one did.
