A lot of the epub problems can be traced to HIGHLANDER thinking: "There can be only one".
This leads to kitchen-sink specs that try to be everything to everybody and to defensive fanboyism as the spec's status as the "magical anointed standard" cannot abide the existence of an alternative solution.
Eventually, disenchantment sets in if a strong competitor refuses to follow the herd and prospers.
epub is useful.
But there is nothing magical about it nor anything that makes it compelling to buyers of narrative prose commercial ebooks.
