It is particularly hard to maintain strong DRM on the PC/Windows platform since the system is designed to allow the owner full access to just about everything.
For KFX Amazon was smart in building multiple DRM schemes into their reader software, ready to be activated as needed. It would take a lot of work to defeat that and so I doubt that anyone will put in the effort unless there is no easier way to defeat Amazon's DRM. I don't see it happening as long as the "Download & transfer" method still works for most books.
On the other hand I still hold out hope that a completely different method of attack will be found. The idea of using an old version of Kindle for Android in an emulator has been mentioned. And there is a chance that a new way to disable KFX will be found that works in the latest version of Kindle for PC.

I think the best place for technical discussion of the detailed workings of Amazon's DRM is the
Discussions section of NoDRM's GitHub.
