The point isn't that huge code listings in an ePub is a good idea.
The point is that there are legitimate reasons for monospace fonts in currently produced media, such as was used on the Thomas A. Anderson's computer screen in The Matrix when Trinity contacted him.
And none of those lines would cause a problem in a book if using the code tag, which allows for line wrapping when needed.
Readers without monospace fonts are an unfortunate decision because there are legitimate reasons for publishers to use them where a variable-width font does not give the atmosphere to the reader. I do not understand why that is hard for some to comprehend.
Publishers who use a code tag, a perfectly legal tag to use - or even a span if they want monospace but it's not semantic code - have no choice but to bundle their own because some devices lack the ability to properly render HTML that is specifically supported by ePub.
