Damning with faint praise. It makes me feel rather sorry for those stuck in the Amazon walled garden of an ecosystem.
And for those who do not want to use StK? I suspect that you are part of a minute minority when it comes to Standard Ebooks. The number of people who may prefer books that are formatted with azw3 in mind and that they don't have to shuttle through Amazon is, from what I've read, likely to be a much larger number.
And why would they need to get rid of azw3? If you want to download a compatible ePub and use StK, exactly what is stopping you? And why do you want those who may be happily downloading and sideloading azw3 to be unable to do so?

Anyone side loading to a Kindle is probably using calibre to manage their library. AZW3 doesn't represent any convenience. You are still going to want it in ePub format, so just get that and convert to Kindle format on demand.
