Or at least, to allow it without large warnings saying word to the effect that "You will lose access to your DRMed ebooks if you ever need to move to a different computer or re-installl the software."

It warns when you refuse to authorize. Not in large red letters, but a perfectly explanatory text. (You know, THAT text, the text you didn't read because it's not important).
Though having the same warning repeated before download...
Got tricked the same way. I installed ADE. It pop the warning about activation "oh, never mind, i don't mean to download books right now".
But, a few months later, when I finally download a book, i had totally forgotten about that...
"Can't decrypt ebook" said inept. Me : What the ???.
After a while trying to figure out why inept was refusing to de-drm. I did the second mistake, i authorized ADE (despite ADE warning me pretty clearly of the consequences

). And destroyed the temporary key...
Else, i could have use inept to get it, and de-drm the book...
Result -> two rather expensive e-books lost. Borders support wouldn't even care to answer.
