Maybe wait a little while to see if the new DRM gets cracked.

Maybe my attitude about stripping DRM will change.

I would cross that bridge when I get to it.

If I wanted Kindle exclusives now, I see no reason for me to cut off my nose to spite my face.

YMMV. Your guesses as to what may happen in the future may vary.
My guess is that eventually Windows will requite the latest KindleforPC and DeDRM won't work with it. I think Kindles (2024 and later) will not have D&T and will all be MTP. I think D&T will remain for older Kindles. I think eventually the KindleforAndroid hack will stop working.

So the only way to get Amazon eBooks to be able to remove the DRM (or come with no DRM) is to have a pre-2024 Kindle registered to your account. Eventually there will be no way to download KU eBooks and read them on anything but a Kindle or Kindle app.
