Maybe that's true on iOS. On my phone (Android), it's the only reader I've found that I consider tolerable for most uses. It's not by any means perfect, but of the dozens of alternatives I've tested, it's the one that annoys me the least.

You may think so, I don't, and I won't ever agree with you on that. For my part I simply don't use readers that force it on me. Either they have the option to disable it, or I won't use it.

It's an opinion, not a decision.

I agree, which I why I find it annoying to deal with readers that insist on trying to mimic even older technology in all kinds of ways that introduce artificial restrictions on a medium that does not need them.
Case in point: It's simply not possible to offer proper zoom support without text-reflow, at which point the page-layout oriented UI falls apart.
