Is this true? If so, how has it changed, and why?
Could you clarify that?

Amazon is not a gatekeeper. Anyone can publish a book on Amazon. They may not advertise the book or feature it in anyway but anyone can publish a book on Amazon.
There are only 4 things that Amazon keeps out and 2 ways to get your author account pulled.
The 4 things are daddy/child, rape, beastiality and necropolia as titillating.
The two things that will endanger your account are copyright violations and the faster way is trademark violations. Otherwise anything goes.
Hope this unconfuses you.
