I live in the big city, I have once or twice been in such a rush that I have forgotten to lock my door and left for the day, and come home to discover ... everything just as I left it. Now, if there had been thieves roaming the neighborhood, they presumably would have been prepared to sneak in whether the door was locked or not. My unlocked door would've saved them a few minutes of time and trouble, but my place would still have been burglarized.

Again I think folks on this forum really lose sight of how unaffectedthe average user is by this stuff. Grandma who just bought a Kindle understands that she can buy books in seconds from Amazon. She's perfectly happy with that and does not know- or even want to know-about sideloading, backing your library up to a computer, transferring ebooks between devices, Calibre, etc, etc.
Average user is unaffected because he or she isn't intending to do anything wrong. Average user is unaffected until DRM prevents him or her from accessing a duly bought and paid for book.
