Which is totally irrelevant for those who want to use an engine for analysis. Many people want to know how strong an engine is by itself, without book, and we are trying to provide such information.
I estimate that very few people use engine with own book. Most of people don't play with an engine set to full strength, but use it to assist their games or preparation. In those tasks people often use huge game databases in the opening, not an engine book tuned to particular engine's style.

I agree Kirill regarding the analysis issue,but people also need a rating list where the engines show their tournament strength and that's why no one uses a generic opening book in the official tournaments,or do they

Hi Wael,
I'm not offended at all.
SSDF would suit your purpose and I'm sure that others possibly produce rating lists where engines use their own book.

I do have such a rating list,it's huge but still private till now
Never the less,I always take a look at every new update of the CCRL rating list
