Amazon don't make that choice with indie books published via KDP. The author/publisher gets to choose whether to use DRM or not. Neither option is selected by default, so the author/publisher has to choose.

Of course, they may make a different choice with a big publisher, but the only evidence I'm aware of (ie how they act with KDP-published books) suggests that Amazon don't really care whether DRM is used or not.
