You know what? They just aren't interested. They don't care about collecting books, or using Calibre to store their ebook library, or removing DRM, or being able to convert books to other formats, or any of that crap which we think is so terribly important. They just buy a book from the Kindle Store, read it, and move on. DRM? They just don't give a damn.
This has been my personal experience time and time again.
We are NOT typical users.

How could you possibly ask them about DRM and then suppose that they've
probably never heard of DRM? If you asked them, they would have heard about it right then, at the very least.
This smacks of back peddling.
