They still plan to support mobi/azw if you already have those books/documents in your library, so I don't see why it would be a cost cutting issue.
I'm more inclined to believe newer generations of Kindles won't read mobi/azw.

My opinion is the reason that Amazon is dropping mobi for the email to device function is the same reason that they dropped relowable mobi as a usable format for KDP. By today's standards, reflowable mobi is a primitive format with very limited capabilities. It's much easier to take a newer format ebook file and generate a decent looking mobi file than it is to take a mobi file and generate a decent looking KF8/KFX/etc. file.
