It's not. But if you try to upload any of the listed items, with video, Amazon very efficiently simply removes the video or audio elements. Period. And if you ask them, via phone or emaiIn other words, they don't want the brain-damage of having to try to provide tech support for every Tom, Dick and Harriet that is uploading a Word file, trying to create...whatever. I don't blame them one iota.

To be precise amazon does not support EPUB3, but supports a subset of HTML5 and CSS3 (a very little subset). No scripting at all, for example.

As I said, they do not support ALL the varied options available under ePUB3. That doesn't mean that they don't support some aspects of ePUB3. If we're going to say that if they don't support every last bit of it, it's unsupported, fine, then they don't, but they never supported everything that could be done under ePUB2.0 either. Nonetheless, you can submit ePUB3 files with a nav (see 5.2.1 Creating Logical TOC Using a toc nav Element, in the Kindle Publishing Guidelines).
Moreover, at least 4-5x in the KPG, they link to the ePUB3.0 Recommended Specifications (IDPF 3.0 Specification). (And for accessibility guidelines, too, BTW, for ePUB3)
So...given that they repeatedly refer prospective publishers to the IDPF ePUB 3.0 spec, I don't believe that you can argue that they "don't support" ePUB 3.0. Again, if to say that it's supported, they'd have to allow every single aspect under 3.0...no, I don't think that will
EVER happen.
