Never heard of the DRM in ePub? Well - there is an option like that so it has nothing to do with the file /format.
Of course there are DRMed epubs as well. It's just that you can't freely convert DRMed .mobi files into DRMed .epub files easily, at least not as an end user, without breaking / removing said encryption first; the argument "the Kindle can do mobi files, and you can always convert them" is not true if you're dealing with encrypted content -- which, among other things, won't let you convert the format freely.

And what's wrong with mp3/flac analogy?
There are totally different formats which serve totally different needs. Diff'rent strokes, you know. They're not competing (if that's the word) for the same market segment.
