From the scholar's/author's point of view, when we're writing we're not interested in thinking about what additional technology we can use to make the work of the book publisher easier. We're dealing with the content of the matter (the reason for the text) which by itself is difficult enough as it is.
This is kind of funny since the argument for LaTeX in academic works is that you want to focus on the content and if you use more primitive tools like Word you will spend more time on non-content tasks such as formatting or getting the paper consistent.
