I like ADE page numbers for two reasons: they let me switch among my devices and easily find my place (my content is sideloaded) and since they're consistent among different books, I can judge how much time I have left in a chapter or a book (I'm better at that than Kobo or Kindle, especially with non-fiction, where there's a lot of endmatter that doesn't get read).
What I don't get, frankly, is the conversation:
"I like page numbers; they provide value to me."
"That's stupid and no, they don't."
Add to that the strawmen of various paper editions having different page counts (which is irrelevant) and assuming that people want page numbers to reflect page turns (which they don't).
