Just as an experiment, take an epub with proper semantic html and delete / disactivate the css, and compare that to an epub without correctly structured text after deleting the css. Bear in mind that to all machines (for text-to-speech etc.), html with no semantic structure is more or less the same as trying to read a novel in .txt format, to a human.

I did your experiment and I was correct. Removing the CSS makes it unreadable. Why would you want to remove the CSS anyway?
