Simple. Because many of us don't consider it "settling" for
anything. Let alone think of it as some sort of "bar" being set. It's fine that others are wont to dwell on these details and consider them somehow intrinsic to their enjoyment of a particular piece of work, but I fail to see how those same people can't seem to grasp the concept that many others simply don't—and are not illiterate, intellectually-challenged cretins for not doing so. I consider the ability to ignore formatting (fonts, indent, line-spacing and the like—not rampant misspellings and/or grammatical errors) while focusing on the story to be quite the blessing, actually. One less thing to get in the way of an enjoyable story (which has always been the only part of a book that holds any intrinsic value for me). I have never consoled myself with the knowledge that a book I didn't like "sure looked purty." *shrug*
