Which devices exactly? There are a lot of old Sony's and most of them are probably no longer useful because of the battery. I've never heard of any issues with the old Kobo's.

Oh and I remember one case of someone having trouble doing a conversion of an eBook because Calibre ran out of memory. The solution to that was to clean up the CSS and do the conversion again.
But did they simple remove unused styles or rationalise them? The two things are vastly different. And the action of opening a book for reading is different to converting them. My bet is that one of the statements made by the poster of that problem was that the book opened with no problems.

And don't forget, the publishers have no interest in the purchasers doing anything other than read the book. If you told them the code was bad, there response would probably be something like, "So what?" or "Could you read the book?"
