b) Want the opposite choice to their software's default
I suggest that those group of people are substantially less than half of all readers.
If I found a book that was designed in a way that prevented me from using the font/size/justification options that my software offers me, I would call that book defective.
In my view, that is what you are doing if you are forcing display choices on the reader.
Different people have different ideas as to what makes something work or not.

By not specifying justification, you are FORCING justification on those who's software does not have an option for justification. You are forcing whatever the default justification is for that software. So how is that any different then specifying full justification in CSS? All that needs to be done is specify full justification in body and you can then change the justification with the software's settings. I know this works with RMSDK on a Kobo. I know a lot of eBooks specify the justification in too many classes and that can prevent the justification setting from working. But it can be done so users without a setting get full justification and the rest can choose.
