I doubt the DRM has anything to do with it. I don't see why deleting an encrypted file remotely would be any easier than deleting a non-encrypted file remotely, unless Amazon made a specific effort to set it up that way.
I mean, I hate DRM as much as anybody but I don't think lack of it has been protecting some Kindle books from remote deletion. I think Amazon decided not to delete books from Kindles themselves.
I just wish they had had the good sense to decide not to delete them from archives either.
