If there are a lot of pointless similar styles with conversion from Mobi the original is poor. The epub can be cleaned.
Also many big publisher azw3 / epub have massive templates. Use the Remove Unused and Merge identical CSS in the Editor.
Calibre doesn't add new styles.

Well as I say, it may be true for you, but not for me, I can see that from the original to the conversion often. And I didn't actually say it
adds new styles. I said it adds many styles, often they are the
same styles with the same section. I understand and agree that the original can be very poor but I have seen this with those that aren't, such my own too. Which makes it more difficult to edit, if you use a Calibre conversion, at times, even if it doesn't change the original style, for the reader. I agree that many publishers can may use huge templates but I never did. There is the 1st paragraph, the body and some titles/sub-titles and headlines etc.. There shouldn't be ever a need for much more in a normal fiction paperback style. Complex technical and reference works can be much more complicated granted though.
