But when they are exclusive to Amazon, a lot of people cannot get them. That is just very much wrong. And either everyone can get these short stories or they don't get published. They could have been published on Smashwords for everyone if need be.

Here is a corrected version of your first sentence:
Most of the other Dresden Files short stories (except
The Law and Monsters and <I'm not checking all of them>) were published in anthologies that are available in ePub and on Amazon.
There are 10 other short stories / microfiction listed that have not been anthologized yet in a JB anthology listed in the link I provided earlier. Some of the stories that are in his anthologies were never published in e-format until the anthologies came out.
Backup was only at Subterranean Press per his site, so only in hardcover until the anthology. At least one of the other anthologies is also Kindle exclusive:
Parallel Worlds: The Heroes Within is in KU.
Many Bloody Returns doesn't look like it is available as an ebook (at Amazon at least) either.
This isn't new. When he gets enough for his own, broadly published anthology, he will do so if he follows his previous examples. Until then, he publishes things in whatever format is most convenient. He's been doing this for years. Coming up on 2 decades even.
Again, would you rather this not be out anywhere yet?
