Mainly because there is no difference in the way "drop-cap" code is rendered across the various devices that support KF8. In fact, the various renderers have no idea what drop-caps are.

The issue is line-height. And the default line-height is much larger on eInk devices that support KF8 when compared to the line-height on Kindle Fire devices. But there's absolutely no reason why the exact same drop-cap code would render any differently on a updated K3 than it would on a Kindle Touch. And users know (or are learning) that they can easily adjust the line-height when they come upon a KF8 book.
And, of course, line-height can be set. I saw Punchy's post. I'm debating on whether or not to reply, given that old Punch has now decided that he's a professional ebook-maker. Of course, I don't remember if his "go-to" tool, Jutoh, lets you set line-height in their quasi-CSS settings.
