When the supposedly retired Kindle comes back into service they don't check removal requests, they just match up to the status of each Amazon book on the web list.

This ↑↑↑↑↑ !!!!!
ETA: I'm not sure whether Amazon thinks they're doing a service, but I do think all Amazon is doing is "matching the 'Amazon' books on that revived Kindle to their records of what should be on it" as part of its normal syncing process. If you don't want Amazon to touch your sideloaded ebooks (PDOC), then don't manipulate the metadata to trick Amazon into thinking it's an Amazon-supplied ebook (EBOK).
