To me, it just seems pointless to give one's customers a disjointed and inexplicable experience like this. Of course the horror of getting MOBI for a personal document on iOS is yet another example... The test epub I sent looks beautiful on my Kindle, great on my Android phone, but on my iPad ... UGH!
You'd think that the idea would be to provide a uniform and pleasing experience across devices rather than going out of the way to NOT do so...
But I'm not rich like Bezos, so what do I know? 😁

To me, it looks bad everywhere: I like left-justified text and am too lazy to apply style before sending it. To the extent that I get around to reading any of this, I read it with Apple Books.
iOS is more restrictive about the layout engine you can use, I think it has to be WebKit. It used to look much, much worse before Amazon came up with an iOS specific delivery format. But personal docs don’t get this feature.
