It's a good point: Put blame where blame is due.
All the same, many of the errors in discussion are often due to bugs in Amazon's document transferal system... I have experienced those firsthand when I input my books into the Kindle store. And for the record, Kindle support (as has been pointed out elsewhere) is a bunch of frakkin' idiots.
Sony has clearly advertised support for ePub, but their conversion engine leaves a lot to be desired... accurately-formatted ePub generated by some publishers does not display properly.
Sure, "git 'er done quick" is a problem, but it is a problem with vendors too, not just with publishers. When hardware and/or software is put out not-ready-for-prime-time, it can make even the best publisher's work look bad. The e-book industry has already suffered quite enough of that, they don't need help from Amazon or Sony, or anyone else.
