Why is everyone saying it exists?

Because we can see this formatting in other books. I had a look through my books and have one MOBI with me. I copied it off the device and use calibre to convert it to EPUB with the default options. I then sideloaded it. Then I opened to the same page on both books, changed the font size to match and took the screenshots. The attached screenshots show the results. The formatting on the two version is very similar.
The conversion isn't perfect. But, this shows multiple font size, bold, italic, links, pictures (I think the default is to convert to grey scale) and most other common formatting. I could probably fiddle with the conversion to improve things (the line spacing is different), or fiddle with the options to make it worse.
For your case, I can only think you have changed the conversion options at some time to produce the results you are seeing. Looking at the conversion log, we might be able to work out what you changed. Or if we had access to your source book, to work out the best options for the conversion.
Note: I did do one cheat. "Robert E. Howard" and "Table of Contents" are headings. The defaults for a conversion will create new files for both of these and this will put them on new pages. So, I merged the first three files in the epub to get roughly the same text on the page as for MOBI.
