Sigil is an ePUB editor and not Kindle, as pointed out several times. It tries to give as pure ePUB as possible and not device specific.
I agree that configuring the link in itself would not be a big change, but it would divert the program. Generating for Kindle is not that difficult as I read for DiapDealer. However, you are overlooking something.
As soon as a generated mobi would not work, the fault will be sought within Sigil, even when it is the generator that is faulty. It will be more difficult to bug-hunt and Sigil will get a reputation that it is not good in its work even if it is.
I always like one of the Unix doctrines. Make a program do only one thing, but do that good.
Amazon should deliver good working code, that's their job in this case. You are asking to solve an issue with a program via another program which is not meant for that.
You are entitled to your opinion, but I totally agree with user_none in this case.
