I suspect this will be a niche market and I fail to see what publishers and authors are getting so worked up about, since the consumer has to pay for a more expensive audiobook just to get this feature. And then, they don't have the flexibility a dedicated ebook offers.
Tis much ado about nothing...

Perhaps for the way I use audiobooks now, it's a nothing burger. However, I can see how new readers or those learning a new language might benefit.
I don't see how it's a threat to sales of the text version of the book.
