Hopefully I don't offend you like I've obviously already done from the tone of your response.
I have a hypothesis for why Kindles might do this. Before I switched to a Paperwhite, I owned a Nook Simple Touch and a Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight. These e-readers did have hyphenation to allow for unbroken full justification. You know what I noticed? On those words that were broken with hyphenation, you could never use the extra features on the menu you get from touching the word like looking up definitions, etc. Perhaps Kindle had the same problem, couldn't fix it either, and instead of leaving the features broken on these words, decided to solve the problem by preventing the situation from happening in the first place.
Again, just my opinion. Sorry for offending.

Pretty sure Nook finally fixed this in a recent update (maybe 3-4 weeks ago), I do remember verifying this at least. You can now select hyphenated words. Um, as long as they aren't on the last line. But selection still has problems unrelated to hyphenation.
