Probably because people don't understand about the problems with DRM until one of them bits them personally.

For me, this happened back in 2003 or so, and the specific problem was the inconvenience of having to download specific copies for specific devices (Mobipocket DRM), which meant that it was impossible to keep a reliable backup archive of purchased books.
