So why then can I use external stylesheets (e.g. “text.css”) for each of the HTML files that are compiled by KindleGen into the mobi and are subsequently applied by the e-reader?

Sigil, with all due respect to the programmers thereof, produces ePub files and as such does not add the “spices” to the files that KindleGen favours. If it did, then the ePub wouldn’t validate.
