Can you offer any proof of your statement? Of the Kindle owners I know who sideload, 4 use an USB connection to drag and drop the ebooks and 2 use calibre. Perhaps a bit of explication as to why someone would want the book in ePub when calibre is happy to use azw3 (or mobi, pdf, txt, fb2, etc...) in the library? Heck, calibre will even let you edit an azw3 book without having to convert it.

OTOH, calibre has a learning curve and some people are not willing to take the time and effort to learn a tool that they will not make much use of.
