There are XSLT stylesheets and other tools around that can transform
DocBook XML documents into HTML, ePUb, PDF, and other formats.  As far
as I know, iBooks uses ePub, which may be the only time Apple ever chose
a non-proprietary format for anything.  And no, neither macOS nor iOS is
required to read the ePub format.
