I would not have purchased a Kindle without being able to read my existing library of hundreds of previously purchased Mobi (and eReader, for that matter) books.

These seem like two different cases here. The library hack was neither explicitly allowed or forbidden by Amazon. They just never commented on it. Now, they are trying to keep people from getting KindlePID.py. You can still get these scripts. Amazon has just said that they don't want you to.
DRM removal has always been against the ToS (and of questionable legality). So from day one you're making the decision to disregard Amazon's rules.
