i don't track percentages , & I don't buy lots of kindle books nowadays, so maybe I have been unlucky, but is did happen sometimes i.e. some books are sold with a bland "placeholder" generic cover. I'd post an image but I've replaced them all already. maybe it happens less often with newer books...
a quick google fiinds this ( oldish) thread on missin cover art , proving that it is not just me...

I do borrow a lot of epub format library books & I say it still happens there with ~20% of covers
as to the wider debate, seems i lost the argument for blaming Amazon vs blaming publishers- it was fun but as they say- when you a e already in a hole it's time to stop digging
