Were I solely building ePUBs, I would never use an image instead of a font, but if you're building for Kindle, at the very least, you're stuck using an image for KF7. And the're brutes to do halfway decently, inline, mind you.
Don't assume that the people doing it are lazy. WE are not. We do it because we don't have a viable alternative. Or, hell, even an non-viable alternative.
@AlanHK: is your client sideloading the AZK to their iPad Kindle reader? or is s/he loading the MOBI file to their iPad? And, do you know what generation iPad s/he has?

Can't you use media queries to do the images in the Mobi and embedded in the KF8? Do you embed in the ePub and images in the Mobi/KF8?
This is yet another pet peeve that publishers dumb down the ePub because of the Kindle.
