Unlike Amazon and Apple who do not license their DRM to anyone else, B&N has licensed its DRM to Adobe, and support for B&N's DRM is included in the latest Adobe software. Any software ereader or ereader device using the latest Adobe software can support B&N's DRM.
Several software ereaders do support B&N's DRM (including a pre-release of the new ADE software), but manufacturers like Kobo and Sony have chosen not to enable support for the B&N DRM.

So instead of blaming B&N, blame the ereader manufacturers for not enabling the included B&N DRM support.
