My point is that if you write in a suitable format (for example a simple text file with simple markup) you will for free get correct eBooks without much work.

In theory, yes. In practice, you discover that different conversion engines want different formatting and display the final docs differently, and so you end up creating multiple versions of your document, whatever WP app you use, to get everything to come out as pretty as possible in every format.
If you have to essentially create differently-formatted copies, using an app like Word or InDesign that has strong style and formatting controls makes the job a lot easier than using a simple WP program with only basic tools.
I'm not saying that Word is the best app for the job... just that it is the most practical tool for me to use. Others' needs may vary.
