Often the ellipsis is designed to be the same width as a figure, so it can be used in tables easily, so columns of figures line up. Which is much too narrow for people who like to use it in text.
In text I use . . . and . . . .
Would prefer to use thinner spaces, but those allow the ellipsis to split on a linewrap. I tried all the various space entities and in ebooks, only nbsp could be depended on to be "no break".
