That is an improvement over the previous Audible players for Kindle but Immersion Reading is the standard Amazon has established for the last several years. Having to switch modes is not the same - might as well have it play from your smartphone or Echo and read along with the text. I can understand where highlighting words dynamically could drain battery faster, but they could just forgo that and keep page turns synchronized, which would be fine (like TTS on Fire).

And yes, let’s have ‘plain old TTS’ and not just VoiceView.
