The way I see it, is this metadata is to pass information to the Kindle hardware/firmware regarding how it should handle a particular eBook. And there is nothing wrong with an individual trying to instruct the Kindle to give the same treatment to their personally owned eBook. The Kindle belongs to the customer, not Amazon. This metadata is not to pass information to Amazon so they can delete the book from the Kindle. On their whim. Without notice. Silently. Without adding a note to their logfile indicating what they have done or why. Personally, I call that "nefarious".
