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.

I think they are objectively silly, because they
aren't consistent. Not to paper equivalents and not to a fixed character length.
I am positive there must be books out there with a
Page-map or
PageList, although as I don't usually purchase EPUB to begin with I am not in a position to know.
