Because regardless of what you think, PDF enjoys an infinitely higher adoption rate, than any of the formats discussed here.
Yup, correct. For the moment. PDF has a share of about 50% of all formats. Right now. So?

But PDFs will be with us for a while longer, IMO.
Which is why most large online shops around the world switch to ePub right now and none to PDF? Hm?

But I've got to admit it was a clever move of Adobe adding the ePub support to InDesign, inventing the ADE and the related SDK since it is already designed to work both ePub and PDF.
So in the long run Adobe won't suffer from either preference. It will just adapt.
