True, they can be pulled from selling more copies, but if people can read elsewhere they can't have the book the purchased taken away.

While that is the most common reason, it is certainly not true that that is the only reason. Even if it where, I'm not willing to believe they will not use the ability they clearly have to further whatever agenda they decide to.

"Problematic" by who's definition? Also, there are more than a few that have already been kept from publishing when there was nothing in their books (other than ideas not agreed to by Amazon) to warrant such action.
