Using Kindle format vs ePub format is like using a compiler vs winzip?
I just noticed that one could unpack a non DRM epub file with Winzip. Not so with a non DRM Kindle file. One would need a special program like KindleUnpack or Calibre to unpack a non DRM Kindle file.

Does it mean that when one is unpacking an ePub file, the files in it would be 100% identical with the original source files used by the author?

On the other hand, when one is extracting a kindle file, such file would need to be decompiled and therefore there is no guarantee that the source files we get would be 100% identical to the original source files used by the author?
