Total nonsense.

What people are objecting to, is:

a corporate entity deleting their legally obtained files, from their personal device, without permission, and without clear legal authority.

Apparently, you are confusing this issue, with the issue of copyright infringement.

There are available remedies to the copyright holders, both against the "publisher" and very likely, against Amazon. These remedies do not include the surreptitious deletion of files from a personal computer.

It is telling, that while you and a few somewhat confused others, are finding people's perfectly reasonable complaints "hilarious," Amazon seems to be aware of the problem, and is rescinding their policy.
