Even if those metadata fields were standardized, they would without any doubt be misused, left blank, filled with wrong information, etc.

There is no way for user to make the chapter headings in their books centered, the poems set in smaller font, or code snippets in Consolas.

Same as above. Chapter headings we have, with <h1>-<h6>, and you can see how often they are wrongly (or inconsistently) used. Poems, I agree, CSS needs better treatment of poetry requirements, but there is for instance <blockquote>, which should/could be used for letters (and even for poems, with additional formatting), and yet it's often ignored.
The problem is not the format, it's the people using it. Still, I agree the format could be improved with some additional metadata and formatting features, but publishers are more interested in multimedia stuff...
