I find this highly distracting.

I understand your point; I noticed this myself and did not mention it in interest of concision. It doesn't bother me much, and even that annoyance will diminish with familiarity. Perhaps it will be so with you as well.
But I suspect these inconsistencies have existed for a long time, and are a low priority item with the development team. As you state, that may due to turnover and people moving between projects, focused only on their part of the 'elephant', and limiting testing to the specific features that are being delivered. Not to excuse them for not having more attention to detail, but it is unfortunately not a rare phenomenon in software development, as there are always trade offs.
It's a much worse situation with the Fire, IMO. It's as if everybody's moved on to Alexa platform, Fire TV etc. Even fundamental things like sync, immersion reading, collections management are broken on mine and that is more than an annoyance: it makes it nearly unusable.
