If Amazon forced you to use their service to convert/transfer, it would be one thing, but they don't, so I'm not sure what the big deal is.
You cannot get a converter from mobi. And the existence of a converter to mobi has no bearing on the fact that the format is closed an proprietary. For exemple the mobi format can change anytime and reverse engineered converters will stop working.

The awz format is even less documented then the mobi format and can change more easily.
