De-registering and/or factory resetting may not be so benign these days if you're running newer firmware. Amazon could have theoretically added new "brick the device" code to the firmware that triggers upon de-registering or factory resetting.
I've got the newest firmware on K3 and K4, and also recently updated and tested a 1st PW. All worked fine unregistered.
