I don't think 'compatible' was ever meant to mean 'compatible with every reader ever made', but 'more compatible than the advanced version'. It is perfectly reasonable to produce a book that offers more choice on most readers at the expense of less choice on very old, unsupported hardware.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but more people do prefer full then left.

In the poll on MR about left or full justification, 19 people voted left, 21 voted full, and 5 voted don't care.
The only sensible decision to make on the basis of that poll would be to not hard-code any justification, but allow the reader to choose. Doing otherwise, as you wish to do, will force an unwanted choice on almost half the readers.
