The "made-up" page count has the advantages of not changing with font size changes, of being consistent for the same book across devices, and consistent with other books in terms of objective length. But sure, let's watch that number change with each flip. And exactly why? Because it's a preference carried forward from pbooks.

That is not accurate, at least for me. Page count that you would see on Amazon or the Kobo store, yeah, a method like ePub uses is preferable.
When I'm reading the book, '1 screen=1page' does blow up the page count. I am aware of that and can live with it. For me at least, knowing the next chapter is made up of fifteen screens instead of thirty-two is handy. I always struggled trying to read ePub on a break (when time matters), because when my reader said there were two pages left in a chapter that could be anything from two to seven page turns.
