Font sizes vary all over the place. Chapter headings that start way too far down the screen. I've seen 14% 7 20% used and that's just stupid to do that. Oh and stop with the simulated blockquotes that use numbers like 5% for left/right margins. And, stop making text that's offset a smaller size. The problem is that we don't get a good consistent look.
But exactly the same is true of paper books, Jon. It would be very boring if all the books in the world looked exactly the same.
