I can't prove this but Amazon's chipping away at D&T availability points in that direction.
I think your post is entirely correct. I am not arguing facts or opinions. But:

Aren't books uploaded to Amazon as ePub in the first place? Whatever the format is, the publisher isn't uploading a KFX, so there's no reason for a book to only be available in KFX except that Amazon says so.
