What kind of support are they "lacking"? They do contain the text and basic formatting. What else would they need in a book?
I'd guess that those "lacking" features have something to do with user tracking or DRM.
Epub doesn't natively have user tracking and DRM either. Mobi files are just ancient and there are better alternatives for them. Like bmp files vs jpg.
Epub is actually pretty good. And it's been supported for a long time now. Hard agree.
Epub is also a super easy format to script with, allowing easy parsing of webpages to ebooks.
