Is there a way to extract the epub file from a kindle device/app? I want to convert it into a pdf but it seems like all the ebook options that are sold only work on the seller's native app. It's all fucking closed ecosystems where you don't own anything.

EPUB actually is an open format. I believe it can be locked down, but EPUBs are available in an unencrypted non-DRM fashion.
Not sure if you can extract them from an Amazon device. It may be possible.
If your ethical guidelines would allow it, you could also see if this library has an EPUB copy of the book you already own.
It’s not there
Pretty sure Amazon kindle doesn't use epub. Many years ago there was software that could convert their format to epub but would be very unsurprised if that is no longer possible.
Calibre
Amazon uses a couple that are easily convertible any which way with Calibre
Right. So still works then? That's cool.
Absolutely works brilliant
I also Calibre-web docker for accessing books when kindle not in hand.
What’s calibre?
If you’re in to reading ebooks this is important to have
Which book are you looking to export as a pdf?
https://archive.org/ is where I find most of the books that I download as PDFs.
Calibre with dedrm plugin. You might need to hunt down an older version of the Kindle app to download so that it downloads with outdated DRM.
In case it's helpful, try just downloading it from another source. Anna's Archive has been my savior a few times. https://annas-archive.org/
