If we are talking about retail epub's, I 100% agree with you! But most duplicates covers are caused by books going thru a conversion. I have no idea what program is causing it, but that program creates a "titlepage.html" file that they include first in the spine, and it creates a "Cover.html" which is second in the spine. Included in the both html files is the "same" image file "cover.jpeg", of course resulting in a duplicate cover. In the program the goal was to get as many duplicate covers into a category that the user could auto-delete. We call that category "Identical" and it represents 80% of the total duplicates. What is really fascinating is that every dup image is visually identical to the cover, though the analytics that define the characteristics of the image can vary somewhat. The only explanation is the conversion process.
