Page numbers didn’t become arbitrary in ebooks they always were arbitrary.
Yes once you apply a system like ADE it’s going to have some level of consistency but the parameters for ADE are arbitrary they could have used anything as is evidenced by the different system kepub used.
They were only applied to ebooks because people were used to them from the physical limitations of physical books.
You want something consistent that gives you book length use word counts.
