Still, it's purely wrong if this is done for physical products. Not sure if they can enforce it though...

I personally think it's wrong for digital sales also. Music on a CD is a digital source also. Video on a DVD is a digital source. I don't see it as any different. I pretty much refuse to buy DRM'd, non-transferrable content over $10 (and for ebooks more like $3). Yes, even Steam.
I feel that it violates my right to do as a I wish with my property. And I want it to work in 20 years if I want. I don't consider DRM'd purchases actual ownership. DRM devalues games to less than 10% of its normal value, to me. Ditto for books. I'd rather actually own property than "license" it.
