I agree, although the primary reason may be that many commercial ePubs include "embedded" fonts. I put embedded in quotes because the full font files are zipped into in the .epub container file which is a different approach to conventional font embedding. In any case, the fonts can take up a lot of space and it is likely that every single ePub from a publisher will contain the exactly the same fonts. So they end up "wasting" a lot of space, but this is required because of how fonts are licensed.
