(It *is* only optional, at publisher discretion, after all.)
But, it may no longer be possible to pull eBooks (with enhanced typesetting) from a Kindle PW2/PW3/Voyage and remove the DRM. It's very possible that Amazon changed the format of KFX eBooks such that they are not just AZW3 with some bit set to 1 to say to use the new typesetting.
