It's the bloody LITB (look Inside the book). The authors (rightly) think that having a ragged-right LI looks less than professional. So, they flaunt the rule, so that their LI looks more professional, but, someday, Amazon's going to have readers/devices that allow the end user to decide--and those chickens are going to come home to roost, when that happens. I mean...I grind my teeth, whenever I see a rr alignment, but the thought of having to redo 3500 books, to "fix" them? THANKS, NO.
