But I imagine it is also a design flaw to reserve an extra 200 MB of an already limited storage media for the sole purpose of saving update packages away from the user.

I'm not worried this will change.
One of the reasons I didn't hesitate to mention it.

They could have enlarged /var/local years ago if they wanted to and started using that instead.

But the user could still deny the Kindle access to the download server by keeping it in airplane mode.
