I answered how I easily go to the HTML ToC. In practice, this is usually to go to a list of illustrations (with links), but I have also done it for the ToC proper when it had some aspect that I preferred. The device is usually a kindle, but the books were probably submitted to amazon as EPUB.
On a kindle, it is 2 taps to set a bookmark and 2 taps to go to a bookmark. It is awkward for me to expand and collapse lists on touch screens, especially capacitive touch screens. Also, page turn buttons work in an HTML ToC, but navigation aids require scrolling. Scrolling on eink is even more frustrating for me on capacitive eink screens than expanding and collapsing lists.
On many books I find NCX derived navigation convenient. I think arbitrarily dictating that only one or the other be present is misguided.
