I believe that it is more than hairsplitting. For books that are intended by the publisher to have DRM, avoiding KFX can be used to access them in formats suitable for DRM removal. But that is only one factor.

Publishers can choose to have their books sold on Amazon without DRM and many do so. Books delivered by Amazon in KFX format always have DRM despite the publisher's choice. Avoiding KFX allows access to books that are being sold as DRM-free in a usable format without DRM as the publisher intended.
