They're only a battery drain if you listen to them. Otherwise, they wouldn't affect non-audiobooks listeners and the feature is there for those who do like the function. Apart from maybe price that is but basic Kindle has it and price hasn't gone up.
Of course, Amazon is in the business of selling services. Getting more subscribers to Audible offsets the relatively minor cost of adding audio capabilities to Kindles.
