They may be able to do what they want, but they can't necessarily get away with it. Just ask mobileread member Hitch, an e-book professional.
I'm sure large publishers can get away with more than smaller 'regular' publishers, but they are also subject to amazon's rules. Amazon may be lax about oversight, but if a complaint gets to the right person in the right mood, the book will be pulled from sale until a compliant version is submitted.

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.
