Even supposing people want to implement what you suggest, it's not immediately obvious that epub3 is the best solution.
To put that another way: If you must maintain an internet connection to serve the content, then why bother with the complexities of epub3? Why not use an app? Or why bother with any local content at all, just use a web page that can be accessed from any browser on any device rather than only to those with an advanced epub reader?
The link-rot thing I see as a misdirection. Anything that requires any sort of external connection is going to experience link-rot. To avoid it the solution is to not require an external connection, and we already have that. And, of course, link-rot is an end user problem, so it's hard to sell solutions to that to content providers. Quite the reverse, the attraction of subscriptions for content providers is that it locks a user into their service.
