Hey, I kinda said exactly the same thing in post

Amazon could have made it so everything is done with KF8 and had no need for KFX. But KFX is there for Kindle to be able to add DRM to DRM-free eBooks. So in this case, KFX is much worse then KePub.

I don't think KFX exists to add DRM to DRM-free books. KFX exists so that Kindle finally has typography matching what ePubs had been doing for years.
The way that it interferes with books intended t be DRM-free was likely never even considered.
