So changing the brand of e-reader for that reason alone is totally absurd. And that's what I'm trying to explain.

If your only eink Kindle is a 2024 model without the option to use Download & Transfer, removing the DRM from your Amazon ebooks is more difficult and may not even succeed at all (for example, if you use a MacBook instead of Windows and your only Kindle device is a 2024 Paperwhite). That's the reason people have been suggesting not to buy 2024 Kindles. Of course, for someone who never removes DRM from their purchases, it doesn't make any difference.
Edit: and yes, with a Kobo you can buy ebooks from any store selling epubs without having to remove the DRM. With a Kindle it's Amazon and maybe a couple of other stores selling ebooks in .mobi format.
