Sure you could both read off of a single kindle displaying a single book just like a physical book but you know quite well that's not what this is about.

Really, it might as well be. You know there is rarely a need for a household to have more than one copy of a book because books are used
communally in households as well as shared between individuals in that household.
For another seasonal example, think of the Haggadah. Now there is an example of something I don't think I would ever want to go completely electronic.
A household "blank check" for ebook lending/use is quite appropriate, and since the average household probably has 4.2 people or something like that, limiting it to 6 devices is a reasonable approximation because one person may have multiple devices. Although it should ideally be the number of devices in the household, that would be much more difficult to implement. (Among the hurdles, take, for example, the fact that I need to de-DRM some books I have purchased just so I can read them on my preferred device).
