Of course, Apple couldn't care less about how many ebooks they do/don't sell, so that patently plays into it. God only knows what it is per thousand for Kobo.

Generally, Apple is my largest earner, though I often sell more books on B&N. Kobo is a strong third. Google fourth (not all my books are on Google). And the rest, as you say, are peanuts.
Over the past say five years, B&N is the one that has slipped the most. It used to be way ahead of Apple.
But the point is that Epub 3 for me (and for your clients as well, apparently) is of no importance if Amazon doesn't build on it. Perhaps it does, but no one has yet said so.
Otherwise, this is just one of those How Many Angels Dance On The Head Of A Pin? debates. It may excite people who build ebooks for their own delectation, but for me it's pointless.
