It's an oddly circular argument to suggest that the DRM is necessary because publishers don't trust customers because they strip the DRM.
Clearly some publishers don't trust the customers in the first place.
I strip the DRM from any DRMed ebooks I buy. I do not think this is dishonest. I don't consider that I'm bound in honour by any DRM-specific conditions in EULAs. Whether I'm bound in law by them is undecided.
If I have negotiated an agreement on moderately equal terms, I wouldn't dream of breaking it. EULAs are not such agreements.
