Kindlegen is a tool aimed at publishers, not end users. Command-line tools are far better suited for automated workflow tasks than GUI applications - they can be scripted and run automatically. It has nothing to do with "restricting the freedoms of their customers".
It is, by the way, a Windows application: it's a Windows CONSOLE application.
Console apps have nothing to with "DOS".
