You are choosing to run kindlegen, and distribute mobi files, without
compression, but the epub files are being distributed with compression. You
can't pretend to tell me you haven't even read the kindlegen documentation.

I would say that if you actually tried "Send to Kindle" you would find it is
in fact "trivial" to use, and an attractive approach to getting free books
on your ebook reader, and no more requires driving to the gas station than
filling up my car, which is electric, so that both my Kindle and my car are
"trivial" to load up at home, and neither requires your [confused,
hypothetical] trip to the filling station. I think you must be confused with
Apple devices, which always seem to require a trip through the Apple store.

I tried this, then, and I try it again now, and it says that this option
doesn't exist.  So who is saying what?

Further, I have tried to see the Nexus 7 in a half dozen stores which carry
tons of ebook readers, I ask to see the Nexus 7, and they don't have any.
Which might explain the ebook survey numbers -- look under "Nexus 7."
