No, in that case you have a point. I think it will depend upon the setup.
The publishers will license a DRM scheme (like the one Adobe uses to secure ePub) and there will be a cost. They may also contract for server space and bandwidth instead of building their own in-house capability.
But I don't see the costs added to any individual title by doing so approaching the shipping and handling costs for a printed book.
