Amazon's probably not going to care if the latest DRM removal strategies require rooted/jailbroken kindle devices. If their goal was to eliminate casual DRM removal, they've probably succeeded. But if their goal was to combat piracy, the rooted device approach to drm-removal will keep that humming along unchanged.

Yes, exactly. All DRM systems might get broken in the sense that someone, somewhere, managed to crack them; but not in the sense that the method will be shared with the general public and people with no IT background or particular computer skills can use it with relative ease.
As to the existence of books not available on well-known pirate sites, yes, there are plenty. Not because they are harder to crack than others, but because the number of books ever published in digital form is so huge that quite a lot escape the notice of pirates. There are just too many ebooks and too few uploaders.
