In the end, Amazon exists to make a profit, make its shareholders happy, do what is required to maintain their customer base and market share(s), and make its shareholders happy some more. I would call it capitalism, not arrogance.

Seems to me you maintain your customer base by keeping your customers happy. And keeping your customers happy will encourage them to buy your products. And selling your products will keep your shareholders happy. I do agree that Amazon probably thinks this move will not upset many of their customers. And they are probably right. There seems not to be much outrage that Kindles have such limited formatting options (margin, line-height, etc). So why make the effort to change anything. Seems to me giving your customers more options may make more customers, sell more products and keep shareholders happy.
