You have a Kindle. Same rules apply about Calibre and conversion. You buy an a DRM free ePub eBook. Again screwed as your Kindle won't have anything to do with it.

So yes, people do buy the wrapper or they cannot use the eBook because the wrapper is then incompatible. You cannot ignore the wrapper and buy just for the content as that just doesn't work for a lot of people.
No, if you actually care enough to notice, you also care enough to google "read epub on Kindle"... and you find calibre, convert, live happily ever after, etc.

If you want to make arbitrary rules and restrictions, you can derive any conclusion you want. Doesn't mean anything.
