Most Kindle books are rendered justified. The avoidance of line breaks between the final words could result in extra wide spaces being used to fill in the penultimate line.

In addition most Kindle books are now rendered with "enhanced typesetting" which does automatic hyphenation. You might avoid a break between the last two words, but wind up with one of them being hyphenated instead.
Or you could end up with a shorter left justified line. That is a Kindle oddity to try to prevent large gaps.
