Why do professional epubs look so different from each other?

One of the main reasons I like ebooks is that they can be adjusted to suit the reader, rather than having to take what you can get. Without the concern about material (such keeping the number of printed pages to a certain or limited number), it offers a flexibility not possible with printed books.

As an example, due to the increase in the number of physical pages it would result in, it's rare to see a printed book with large fonts and/or double spacing between the paragraphs. However, with ebooks this is a non-issue since it is just a matter of an adjustment of the formatting.
