Maybe it's time to actively tell people to only sideload their books with the PDOC tag set? (KF8 and CDETYPE set to PDOC?).

I mean Calibre setting the EBOK tag by default it's still in the end, a trick done to the device into believing a book is actually a purchase, which I believe it's something Amazon has started to not like.

Sending the books as PDOC might be a trick too, but as jhowell reported, their PDOC books weren't removed.

If PDOC books do still get removed, then we can finally conclude the bug/whatever-hidden-feature-amazon-added affects all manually sidelaoded books regardless of metadata and advice to stop sideloading.
