Apple has - and always has had - pretty much the best ePub 3 reader around in the form of their "iBooks" app in terms of compliance to the ePub 3 standard. The issues are that there's no official way to copy files from an iPad or iPhone (you can copy content to it, but not from it), and the fact that they use their own DRM mechanism.
Of course, none of that is any different to Amazon selling content to read on a Kindle. The fact is that the overwhelming majority of people buy content from their reader supplier to read on that device; people like us who want to buy from one supplier and read on another are in the minority.
So no, I really can't agree with you that it's a "mess".
