General reply:

Writers want to be writers, not publishers. If they start spending all this time doing the production for the publishers (for editions that for most writers won't earn more than beer money), they stop being writers. Trust me, I know firsthand.

The publishers and retailers have systems in place (good or bad), and they're not going to change their work-flow for every individual writer. And how many writers do you think are even remotely versed in ebook production (or want to be)?
