I think very few think page numbers should or do relate to page turns on an ereader. The divide comes between those who find them useful, however artificial a construct they be in this context, and those who don't.

I'm in the very useful camp, myself. ADE page numbers are consistent, let me switch among my devices, and also allow me to calculate an accurate percentage for amount read, one that eliminates the extraneous.

What I don't get is why those who find no utility in page numbers insist they're silly and useless for all.
