They removed download links for outdated PC/Mac software to discourage new installations, but did not take the further step of preventing those versions from being able to download books once installed. Hopefully that will continue to be the case.
I assume they are still allowing those versions to function in order to avoid the resulting customer support calls that would be generated by those who are unable to update for some reason.

I have wondered whether Amazon's apparent lack of interest in updating DRM for their older formats was an indication of a planned phasing out of those formats over time. So far I have not seen any signs of that being the case and I think that it is very unlikely to happen.

I have updated the first post in this thread to reflect the current DRM and file download situation.
