Maybe because most people who care about such things don't want either of those two extremes, they want something in-between. Override some things but not others. Getting consensus on where that 'happy medium' should be will never happen.

Personally I think Kobos already allow some reasonable alternatives:
  1. Read books as epub if you prefer a light-handed approach to style overriding.
  2. Use KoReader if you're looking for a heavy-handed 'Monty Python foot' approach to overriding all styles.
  3. Read books as kepub if you want something in the middle.
  4. Add in Kobo patching and you have more fine-tuning of options 1 and 3
