Sure they would. And can Amazon legally remove the rights of a publisher to protect their product as the publisher sees fit? Smacks of force and coercion to say the least.

Amazon developed DRM for kindle formats because they felt it was to their advantage, possibly because the publishers demanded it before they would sell on Amazon. No one forced DRM on Amazon, and Amazon forced DRM on no one.
