The difference is that Mobipocket was bought by Amazon. Amazon is a book seller, so it has no interest in seeing the format succeed in other stores and in devices other than the Kindle (which uses a slightly adapted version of the format). Microsoft is a software/device seller, so it has no incentive to limit its reader's use.
