Do you have an issue with "USB-transferred content"? Gentle hint: Send to Kindle does not involve USB.

No, they are sending ePub files to their Kindle over USB to waste some space.

As for whether they are sending azw3/KF8 or KFX? I had both on my PW 10th gen. along with a couple of .mobi files and all of them disappeared. Looking at calibre's IDs, the ePubs have ISBN, Kobo ID and Amazon ASIN on most of them. I did not look at the files transferred to my Kindle to see which if any IDs were transferred.

Rather reminds me of that old quote from the Monty Python crew: "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
