I agree. Good typography is not necessarily a feature of the ebook format, but a feature of the rendering software. At least the part of it that can be automated (which would already be a big improvement).

By the way, ePUB supports SVG, and PDF can (mostly) be converted to SVG, so ePUB could support the same typographic quality as PDF
