No, epub2 content creators just have to spam the content with extra divs and spans to be able to accommodate the complex css they want to use for their book. Where the more simplistic inherent structural nature of html5 elements and the advantages of css3 allow them to accomplish the same (and more) with less markup and less css.
Most eBooks can do away with these divs and spans and there is no loss of formatting. I do it all the time (well, when I see this extra mess).

epub3, nothing to do with iBooks. Tons of epub3 books are created without an iBooks reference in the opf "header" every day.
A lot do use the iBooks rubbish in the OPF.

epub2 not none. epub2:
Code:
<div class="section" id="section1"><span class="section_first_line"></span></div>
That's not ePub2 specific and section can be just about anything as it's a class. I'm talking the actual <section></section> code.
