Well, people are sticking with old fashioned cars and new things do not catch on.

If people ARE too lazy to do a simple Google search then publishers certainly don't need to cripple their e-book releases with drm. But virtually all of them ARE using drm so I suspect they do think people know how to do a search...

The publishers seem not to be rational in this question. Or it is self interest. An individual person does not dare to release books without DRM since he risk being criticized for it.
I also believe DRM is targeted against ordinary people that borrow books from each other.
