Penguin does indeed do something worse. They have a file called next-reads.xhtml. That links to a 1700x1200 sized image and they embed 2 fonts for a small bit of text on the page.

Taking a Penguin eBook and just removing the HTML, image, and fonts results in a smaller ePub. Original ePub is 1604KB and then edited ePub is 1550KB. To me, that's much worse then Death speaking. That (IMHO) is a really good example of code bloat.
