I suspect Kindle is out of step with rest of planet but as I say I've not researched it properly & could be wrong.
I buy innumerable Kindle books, and MOST of them have the author field correct. There are a few that are the wrong way round, but that's probably equally true for other sources too. Cleaning up the metadata is the first thing I do after importing a book to Calibre.
