I agree, just plain LAZY to not remove it from an e-version that never had a 'stripable cover'
The cover is a lot of cases has already been stripped. That's why there is no proper cover on a lot of eBooks. There's no reason a new book should not have a proper cover for the eBook version. It's just the publisher being a cheap shite.
