HUR should also support 5.0.x but just because there were no high level changes in the firmware that would have made it incompatible with the older firmwares.
IIRC not even the GUI launcher extension in Java needed an update. But the GUI launcher itself did as with 5.1.0 the Java obfuscator was used more aggressively again.
If there were issues I would have supported 2 different version only if it were feasible. Sometimes it's just not possible without much work to support different versions and Amazon doesn't make it easier with all the hurdles they've built.
Also, let's face it, the KT was on the market for such a short time that the number of people with 5.0.x firmware is already negligible compared to the KPW numbers and maybe even the KT itself will be too if Amazon doesn't give out a 5.3.x firmware for it (what they easily could do as the hardware is almost identical besides the larger screen and the missing home button).
