Personally, I agree with you that a perfectly hand-tuned PDF designed for the Sony Reader's screen looks better than any other format on the device. However, that's not how I want my ebooks.
Changing font size, and therefore good reflow is vital for me. I wear progressive lenses and when I'm reading in bed I look at my Reader through a different band than when I'm reading in a chair. That means I need a different font size. Normally it's small or sometimes medium during the day - but large when reading in the evening.
I can't hand-tune a single PDF for all three settings - so I settle for a reflowable format knowing it's inferior in optimum conditions, because it's vastly superior in sub-optimal ones. I'll take worse while sitting in my chair if it makes the difference between readable and unreadable in bed.
