That's the difference. Amazon is way worse then anyone else.
While you may not be able to download a DRM free book directly from Amazon's website without having a Kindle, you should be able to load the DRM free .KFX book that comes from Kindle for PC onto any Kindle, or use Calibre to convert it to another format. (as long as the book is DRM free from the publisher)

Note that I haven't tested this since the KFX format was first introduced, but it worked that way back then.
