That's only true as long as they keep the e-book on the same device. Back when I used to upgrade my Palms, if I transferred e-books from one Palm to the next, I had to use the old CC# when I first opened the e-book on the new device. The same holds true if you have to restore your device for some reason: When you reload the software and the books, you have to re-enter the CC#.
Now, it's true that it's not an issue if you simply remove the DRM, but that's a bit like saying, "Not having the key to a house isn't a problem if the door's unlocked." The reason it's a problem is because the DRM is there in the first place. You either have to go through the PITA of remembering or retrieving the CC#, or the PITA of removing the DRM.
