Uh, no. EPUB3 is a ebook format for a lot of things, like video and sound. If you have no interest on it, no problem, but a different publisher could have different users and different interests. I made EPUB3 with interactive animation, video for specific projects. Apps are another way to publish video, true, but they are more expensive to produce and above all to maintain.

Except eink or other dedicated ereaders, which won't do video anyway in an ebook.

Well, there are some e-ink readers that actually could play video and sound in EPUB3.

Just because it's possible to create a kind of epub with video doesn't mean you should. No-one should, ever. Get a simple App framework.

just because you have no interest in EPUB3 with video doesn't mean everybody doesn't have to do EPUB3 for ereaders, smartphone, desktop or tablet. There are a lot of cases an EPUB3 is a fast, cheap way to publish video.
