Their devices work perfectly with all features they are meant to and will do so long into the future.

Well, I can't say my KPW3 works perfectly. Its main font, Bookerly, is rendering poorly since its hinting was turned off on 5.12.3 update (which wouldn't be a problem if the other fonts didn't have one or other sort of problem). Besides, some people - like me - are on 5.12.4 firmware, which was pulled off from the updates page by Amazon due to bugs as the battery drain one.
Although I can't say that I'm facing any (noticeable) battery drain on my device, some people are (and there are some other bugs to fix too). And I would like Bookerly to display as it did before, even though Amazon doesn't consider this a bug and doesn't listen to consumers anyway. So if Amazon was planning on pulling the cord of updates for this device, it should at least have lost support alongside KPW2, on firmware 5.12.2.
