Can you provide more information on this contractual obligation? What does Amazon actually promise?

That is nothing new. KFX format is used for most books on most platforms, not just on Kindle for PC. Other than personal documents, books in KFX always have DRM. That applies to Kindle devices, apps on Windows, iOS, Android, and Mac. Download and Transfer and old Kindles are the exception with some books not being DRM protected.
The recent change is Amazon again updating the DRM to something that has not yet been broken.
