Amazon will definitely care if their KU subscribers drop. Amazon would rather have people subscribe to KU rather than single one time purchases. Amazon would happily trade and have their single book purchases decline as long as their KU subscribers increase.
KU subscribers are the perfect customer, someone who reads a handful of books but pays a monthly fee over a customer who only buys a handful of books a year. It's guaranteed profit over a customer who may or may not purchase anything.
