The other biggie is expiration, either built into the DRM, or incidental because the company folds and no one support their DRM anymore.

Of course, a "standard" format and DRM would address both of those issues.

Then you're just left with the annoyance many feel because they regard the DRM as having to have specific, express permission every time they access the content they paid for.

Personally, if it stays out of my way when I'm doing normal, legal, moral and ethical stuff, most of my objections to DRM go away too.
