I think the reason why publishers use endnotes rather than footnotes is that they are easier for the reader to ignore, and if a book featured loads of notes that were hard to ignore the General Reader would consider the book over-scholarly and so avoid it. I do not know if this opinion of publishers has any basis in fact.
