Ah, but how many people are not on "modern" CSS renderers or there isn't "scap" OpenType feature?
I understand what you are saying, but have you any idea how many people it doesn't apply to?
Curiously the actual text with the CSS for
SMALL CAPS I've seen is often in ALL CAPS, no doubt for the ereaders and apps that don't understand.
The universal cowardly solution is of course to not even simulate small caps at all. It's often done at the start of a chapter, when technically it's only things like 7 PM or 425 BC that "need" it, but even then not all style guides demand it. Some USA newspapers.
