What really ticks me off is when a publisher specifies font height for body text. There is just no legitimate reason for doing that. Even though it is possible for the user to change text height, that is no justification for a publisher gratuitously making that specification.

As to contacting CS, I had a strongly negative experience over several weeks involving multiple chat sessions and emails with multiple reps that completely soured my outlook on resolving anything other than open and shut problems via CS.
Your choice, but the PG are pretty clear--doing that is a direct violation of them. So...that's not going to be overridable any time soon. The only way to keep the power in the hands of the buyer is NOT to set the alignment.

And while, sure, CS at Amazon--at any company that is large, and outsources, for that matter--can be at best frustrating, IME on this particular issue, they are reasonably responsive.
