I daresay that it's the ubiquity of it. I mean...you can't, really, use 'ePUB" to mean "one file to rule them all." Someone could be talking about MoonReader, someone about Nooks, one about Kobo...it's endless, right?
But then when you get to "Kindle," you have a prescribed universe of devices and we all, already
know that there are challenges. And those that are proscribed...well, not "in" the KindleZone, right?
Whereas with ePUB-reading devices, heck, if you hacked your KFire, you could put a droid-based Nook Reader on it as a Droid device. Lots of crossover and muddied waters there.
AFAIK,
multiple embedded fonts have worked, pretty much across the board, other than the occasional Apple-weirdness,
in most real devices. Can't say much for and would not use, most software readers like Moon, but...Kobo, Nook, etc.--those all
seem to work with multiple and even myriad font faces.
