It may be nonsense to you but it does not mean it is for others. So please just say you disagree but don't belittle others' opinions like that.

It makes sense because, with an epub reader I just load epubs to my reader and that is all, I'm done.

With the PW I must start downloading Calibre, spending time finding out how Calibre works, convert EVERY epub I have, with the risk of changes in lay out or font or whatever (With electronics and software there are ALWAYS issues sooner or later).
And that is without mentioning the fact that if I want to mess with the css code in my epub, I know how to do it (more or less, I'm no expert either) But with my converted .mobi or .azw or whatever format Kindle uses, I have no idea how to change stuff should I have issues with the book and I'm not comfortable enough with Calibre to mess with the insides of my ebooks with it.

You want to know what actual nonsense is ?
Kindle NOT having support for epub ...

As long as you either use DRM-free books or remove DRM (which is trivial to do, as long as the Unnamed Tools are supported by their makers), Calibre can convert from one format to the other.

My entire e-book library is EPUB only, apart from some very few exceptions that were only obtainable through Amazon. Calibre converts these to AZW3 just fine (and you can actually configure it to do it on uploading the books to the Kindle: you won't even notice that it's converting, apart from the fact that the upload takes a bit longer).
