It will indeed sync to the Kindle, but into the .mbp1 and .azw3(f|r) files.
"My Clippings.txt" is simply a
logfile, and it only records annotations on the device they are made, as they are made.
Using "My Clippings.txt" to get the annotations is a hack, but of course, the best we can do until/unless someone reverse-engineers the annotations files and figures out how to extract them from there.
Might be worth it, IF there was some way to match those notes to notes taken from other devices. (Then we could translate notes from device to device.)
