The format doesn't matter. A user of the Kindle need have no knowledge that the books are in mobi format. As long as the Kindle/app reads them, why should it matter?

Plus how long are they going to keep the records of what you purchased? In 10 years you might want to read again a book that you purchased in 2010, but unless they keep a list of all purchases forever, you might not be able to download it again.

Doesn't seem unreasonable that they would.
The major alternative is to hope that Adobe are still running their DRM servers in 10 years time.
