Thanks to you all. I think I'll ditch Books and find something that fits my workflow.
As to whether readers should just be for reading, basically—I paraphrase—maybe. But if you offer the capability to take notes on a privately-owned, non-DRM epub and allow that epub to be moved around between devices, it seems to me that the notes should follow. Why shouldn't they?
As someone who earns royalties from DRM-protected ebooks, it wouldn't affect me in the least if my readers were to use their e-readers to read my books but also to work on their own self-created content. That includes annotating and emailing their own epubs with embedded annotations to others. Why should I care? Why should Apple care? No one's copyright is affected. A silly limitation IMHO.
Anyway, Apple didn't ask my opinion. There are plenty of e-readers and I'll look around. Open to suggestions!
