Amazon has been hit or miss in keeping the PC app up-to-date with KFX features. At one point it lagged while Amazon was pushing the use of the Kindle for Android app under WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android). After Microsoft killed that approach they updated the app again for a while, but now it has fallen behind again.

It is likely they correctly see it as being used more for DRM-removal than for reading these days, leading to the apparent sunsetting of it as a "legacy" app.
