I'm not understanding something, perhaps because of the way I do things, but when I buy a book from amazon, I use the My Content and Devices web page to download it to my pc, then drag the book into Calibre. At that point the drm has been removed.

It's somewhat hidden away but on the Devices section of that web page under Amazon apps installed on devices the first button is Kindle, and in there is Hobnail's Kindle Cloud Reader which I've set as my default device. This way it doesn't try to send it over wifi to my kindle. Back on the Content section in the Actions column I click on the 3 dots button and select Download & transfer via USB. This may sound a bit convoluted but once you get it set up it's as easy as the two steps I originally gave.

And when you do it this way you never get a .kfx / Enhanced Typesetting, only mobi or azw.
