Yes, it just makes your DRMed book reliant on Adobe instead of Amazon.
And Adobe don't even have to go out of business to prevent you accessing your ebooks. Their current system is based on Content Server 4. Their previous system was Content Server 3. They discontinued Content Server 3, and gave about a year for people to migrate their content.

If you didn't notice in that short window of time, and open all your DRMed content and resave, you lost access.
