Exactly. That, and the fact that the HTML TOC generated by Calibre is tacked on at the end of the book regardless of where you might want it to appear. And the fact that you might already have spent time hand-crafting exactly what you want included in the TOC when creating the NCX file, but Calibre won't use that to create an inline TOC. Nor will anything else. And the fact that, unless something has changed, a Calibre-created MOBI file won't work on Kindle for PC if you upload it to Amazon and specify that DRM should be added to the ebook.

No, they won't. If the inline TOC isn't already present in the EPUB, there won't be one in the MOBI.
