You keep referring to calligraphy, which is not a big part of the sort of layout/visual design elements the article was addressing. The sort of poets who treat the visual design of their poems as intrinsic to the work are, from what I've read, extremely unlikely to be thinking in terms of features as archaic as drop caps or illuminated manuscripts. And in my brief forays into reading 21st century poetry over the last couple of years, the ebook anthologies I read were very far from free.
The fact that you personally consider poetry to be primarily a spoken art form is quite frankly irrelevant to the article I linked to, which is all about whether a poet's own intended visual layout can be achieved in ebooks.
