You can report it to amazon and they will require the publisher to change it.
This may be the case with KDP, but ‘regular’ publishers can do what they want. I have books where justification setting cannot be changed. And of course personal documents do not have Alignment setting (unless you use calibre and side-load).

For example, I have a very boring textbook called Recommender Systems published by Springer. Justification is on and you cannot turn it off. I downloaded the sample for Apple Books and while you can change justification, it displays in two-column spread whether it is in landscape or portrait (which is worse, IMO). Fortunately I didn’t pay the usual $55 for it: Amazon had a sale and I think it only cost about $5.

By all means report to Amazon (on Kindle there’s Report Content Error feature) but I would not expect anything to change.
