Without USB you'd probably end up leaving your WiFi on and giving Amazon unfettered access to your device.

It's a separate, but related, issue. The "Download and transfer via USB" is how to get DRM'd Kindle Store content from Amazon and manually put it on a Kindle. The Scribe already uses MTP for USB now, and the option is still available on Amazon to download DRM'd content. So, it's not an MTP issue at all. It's Amazon removing the option to move DRM'd files manually, not about copying data with USB overall.
Amazon has never blocked loading your own content over USB. This recent issue is about loading DRM'd Kindle Store content over USB, which also has often been the most reliable way to get files that can be stripped of DRM.
