I agree that they could do this, but I doubt they bother. The mobidedrm script leaves the metadata intact, and so it is easy to tell that the ebook came from a DRMed source. I don't personally think this is a bad thing, because it demonstrates that you did not bootleged the ebook. I also think stripping DRM is legal for personal use in the US, but this has never been tested in court. If you want to strip the metadata, use Calibre's any2mobi script (i.e. MOBI to MOBI it) or import to Calibre, edit the metadata and export as a MOBI.
