Mom has a DRMed eBook and the DRM is tied to her account and not mine. I don't get to read it, I don't then buy more eBooks from this author. Sales do not happen. The author and publisher lose sales because of the DRM.

So in these cases, no DRM is a good thing and DRM is a bad thing. stonetools, go ahead and prove me wrong.
I think that there are many ways to look at (or borrow a book) that you are interested in. What you have set up is a false dilemma.
