So your examples of the typical non-technical user are not impacted by DRM because they're buying non-DRM content?
I would assume that the average eBook consumer is most likely reading content from the mainstream publishing industry, which means it's almost always DRM'd. That means that the choice of what bookstore they purchase their content from has been taken away from them.
They may not understand why or how they no longer have a choice in where they shop, but it's certainly an impact.
