That's the difference though. As of today you can "officially" convert only personal documents, which shouldn't require a cover. That would explain the limitations in the eyes of Amazon: the "send to Kindle" service was never meant to be a way to bypass the Kindle Store.
EPUBs however are hardly personal documents - they can only be books. So if Amazon starts officially supporting ebook conversions into AZW3/KF8, why would they keep leaving the covers out? Either you don't let people read their EPUBs on Kindle, or you do.
