Gonna take them at their word for now - fingers crossed!
I wouldn't. I can't see it. I spent years doing programming & IT security. Perhaps they are being optimistic and think they or someone else will crack the later/newer KFX versions. But if that happens there will be free solutions too.

They can't remove DRM on newer titles without running their program using your credentials to Amazon server and claiming in protocol that newer KFX isn't supported.
One: That is going to be blocked.
Two: Amazon may decide to see what accounts have this "loop hole" strange behaviour and ban the accounts. However they may not care.

The current mechanism is going to fail (get blocked) sooner than later. Currently a K3 to PW1 might be better, but of course Amazon might stop re-registering those, and/or even cut them off (blocking or making re-registering hard is more likely).
