Which is why I asked the question.

Excluding the source code from your Master MOBI will most likely prevent Amazon from being able to generate a KFX version of the book, resulting in the Enhanced Typesetting features being unavailable.

"Most likely"? Is this one of those things where we can only deduce what Amazon's rules are by looking at chicken entrails?
If I convert KF8 back to epub, I get all the features of the epub, except for some changes of style names. When the mobi is just KF7 the code is certainly trashed. So maybe epub isn't necessary if they have KF8. But without a clear OK I'll keep making the fat version.

The obvious reason, to reduce filesize.
I do a journal that sometimes has a photo section and can weigh in at several MB for the epub.
The full bloat mobi doubles that or more.
Not a problem for most, but sometimes I have uploaded many "final" versions only to have a change requested and have to remake and re-up the file, and Murphy's Law ensures that will be at a time when my internet connection is dead slow. Rural "broadband" is that in name only here.
