If somebody gets your Amazon account information, they could buy eBooks up to your credit card limit, download them to a Kindle (either direct or via "download and transfer via USB) they had activated on your account, strip the DRM, and have the eBooks. Then, they remove the Kindle from your account.

Then, if Amazon did it your way, they could completely remove any indication that the items had been purchased...it wouldn't show in "Content and Devices", or in "Your Orders", etc. The only thing you would have is a lot of credit card charges that were for the kind of things you had previously purchased.
