Amazon doesn't decide the terms for lending or the simultaneous licenses permitted, the publisher does. Most don't allow the two week lending at all. And while the majority of books can be on 6 devices at the same time, many can only be on one or two. Textbooks tend to have this limit. Some books have an unlimited number.
Back when I got my first Kindle in 2009, Kindle CS would actually tell users how to deregister their Kindle so they could register it to someone else's account, to download those books. Back then, the e-ink models would retain the downloaded books when the device was deregistered, so you could fairly easily download books from multiple accounts.
We use to explain in full detail how to do the "registration shuffle" on the old Kindle forum. Amazon didn't have a problem with it.
I think, but do not know for sure, that current e-ink models have all Amazon content removed when you deregister the device. I'm not willing to deregister my Oasis to find out.
Fires have always had all Amazon content removed when deregistered.
