We were conditioned to like full justification, because books are usually printed that way, but the [paper] books have enough characters on line that you do not get this uneven-spacing problems. Plus, typesetting for printed books used to be done by a trained human hand that can address problems with non-uniform typographical grey.

Newspaper columns are also printed that way - typically very narrow columns, but they have to be printed with full justification, because otherwise you would have difficulty seeing the right border of the column.
I actually used to want full justification and would edit the css or do a conversion in Calibre. When I needed larger font sizes I hated that so I had to go back and edit or convert again to get ragged right. I use Moon+ now so I don't have to worry about that anymore.
