So new features should never be added because implementation can't be instantaneous?

As for Amazon, it's not ePub. So that's out 100%.
Well, we can hope that someday KindleUnpack will support it, since some kindle owners would like a standard way to export their personal highlights and notes. EPUB would make a good intermediate or final step for that.

Also conversion by calibre could eventually support conversion of EPUBs with this new scheme to kindle format complete with highlights and notes.

Yes, it will take time, and even maybe might never happen. That doesn't mean it is 100% impossible and it certainly doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed.
