But there could be, and I wish you would reconsider. Please see below.

Not necessarily. The Kindle Previewer app (which reads only MOBI, EPUB, HTML and OPF formats and emulates the oldest and newest Kindle devices), displays the metadata TOC ("NCX View") for MOBI files that have it. I was buying Kindle books in AZW format before the AZW3 came out, and after extracting the MOBI from the AZW, the resulting MOBIs all had metadata TOCs.

For instance, many MOBI files have flattened versions of the toc in their NCX Tocs.

I've been using Kindle Touch since 2011. Selecting GO TO takes you to the metadata TOC.
Only a few of the Kindle books that I've purchased lacked a metadata TOC, and I returned them because the absence of a metadata TOC disables the Kindle Touch's chapter skip functionality.
