It might be "a useless feature" with the current generation of ePub reading software. However, when and if Adobe and others implement defaults and overrides in the UI of the ePub reading software (not much different than the capabilities of average web browser these days) things like user-defined font size, font family, margins, indentation, etc. could be set once and used for every book, without any waste of time.

You can't do that with PDF, while ePub reading software has just started to evolve.
