Because some people can't be bothered to figure out how to go from an Aura One with 12 point text to a Kindle Paperwhite with 10 point text.
But seriously, it is perfectly valid. In fact, if you read that quote from Ric that I linked you'll see that Adobe originally wanted their RMSDK pages to be exactly that: one page = one screen. But Adobe couldn't do it because the Sony readers of the day didn't have the processing power. So they faked it.
Changing page counts on the fly weirds me. It kind of works for small-ish documents where you can have a bank of buttons to go to specific pages (like iRex did with iLiad) but it doesn't scale for large books.
