That is when Amazon notices that you have a pretty good track record of buying and returning books.
Considering you can keep them without DeDRMing at all, just do a bog-standard
file-copy and reinstate the book after Amazon deletes the book...
Anyway, yes Amazon is on the lookout for habitual no-questions-asked-returners-of-purchases.

I think you will find the difference is that the tools cannot DeDRM Kindle app books at all... that is, unless you use an altogether-more-complicated method of getting the app to show you the PID to enter in the DeDRM configuration. I believe there are details in the comments on Alf's blog.
Kindle Owners Lending Library, of course, only works with actual Kindle devices. Someone who usually DeDRMs using Kindle for PC might be unaware of that fact. Anyway, if you can DeDRM a library loan using an E-Ink Kindle (illegal an immoral though it is) then there is no difference on a technical level between that and DeDRMing a KOLL loan
