It's not a complete divide between Libby and Kindle devices. There is an option to send a checked-out book from the Libby app on your mobile device to your Kindle device (if it's available in Kindle format), which then opens up Amazon in the web browser to facilitate delivery, just like it does if you do it from the Overdrive site. It's still Overdrive, no matter how much they make it cute on the front end, so it has the same functionality.

I prefer to do such things in Overdrive on my desktop browser, but if someone has Libby installed on one of their phones or tablets, it works just as well, and it's marginally better than navigating the Overdrive site on mobile Chrome. I have it installed on my Fire and there have been library holds that have come in after I'm already situated in bed so I've done it. It's also nice to have for the occasional epub-only library book.
