I've even been reading some LitRPG books and their formatting for the RPG stuff comes out perfectly fine; a combination of bold, italic bold, and italic.
The page on the right is the original AZW3. This is with calibre's viewer, but no different than on my kobo.

Most freebies on ereaderiq have pretty simple formatting. I stopped reading them years ago, as most of them aren't particularly good. I do read self-published stuff in addition to tradpubs, but they're generally not free.
Of course not every book suffers from the sledgehammer removal of font sizes and margins, but many of those I've read would. Letters, diary entries, computer text, chapter quotes, songs, verses, section breaks and so on. And yes, chapter titles. All this is important for me to be able to enjoy a book.
