This!

Although Amazon no longer accepts the older formats from publishers there are still a lot of older books that to this day are only available in those formats. Amazon converted all of those they could to KFX but that was not possible for many of them. So even after the old devices that only handle those formats are gone Amazon will still need to support reading them, even in the newest devices. Otherwise previously purchased books will become unreadable.
