Not fair?

Both PDF and collection of PNG's lock the content in. And PNG is superior to both PDF and TeX, as you have a pixel level control over the display.

Size of the publication is not an issue, so why bother with PDF and TeX formats, if the intent is to gain total control over the target screen?

PNG is already part of ePub rendering engine, TeX isn't. Yet another format, with all due respect.
