In the older models, you had fine control over the global margin used for all books and other documents, as explained here:

This may be true, except I do not quite understand your point.
With newer eInk Kindles, I have to individually adjust the margin by doing a conversion in calibre. Under Look & Feel - Styling I always put in this extra CSS:
html {
margin-right: -66px;
margin-left: -50px;
}
In recent years, I always use the Bookerly font, but I think the above is fine with most of them.
This still leaves some margin that I think of as wasted space on the eInk, since I do not have a white bezel that would be the margin.
The problem with the method for adjusting the margin of newer Kindles is that AFAIK it is impossible to adjust the margins of a library borrow with DRM. If I am wrong about that, anyone is invited to correct me.
My point here is that, for my personal purposes, Amazon hasn't significantly improved the Kindle; newer models are better some ways and worse in others. The biggest improvement I do see is more resistance to screen cracking.
