Amazon's only loyalty is to their share-holders.
And their shareholders want them to make money, yes? Happy customers pay money...

Besides, Amazon's biggest shareholder is Jeff --- and he wants to make customers happy. I have a nagging suspicion his opinions may hold some weight...

If they decide it makes financial sense to drop the USB port or the keyboard or the ability to load custom fonts or any other function, they will do so, and your feelings will count not a jot. If you think any other way, your really must apply the word "nonsense" to your own mistaken opinion.
If it ever makes financial sense, it will be BECAUSE our feelings align, and we are still willing to buy Kindles.
