Am I understanding correctly that Kindle Create is basically aimed at self-published authors with limited technical skills?

I imagine big publishers and technically adept smaller publishers and self-publishers will continue to create EPUB as source material instead of trying to go directly from a Word Doc to Kindlebook.

Or am I deluding myself and there is reason to believe KF8 is being phased out, forcing people to purchase a KFX-capable device or accept MOBI?
