To be honest, I suspect that people who know about DRM don't care. This could be because they remove it without giving it any thought (the Calibre plugins will do it automagically when you add a book), or they know the issues and they've decided that they aren't relevant to them. People who don't know about DRM won't know to complain. In either case, you're unlikely to get anyone complaining.
I have no real data to back this up, it's based on anecdotal evidence, but that's my theory, for what it's worth.

Same here, for more-or-less the same reasons. I do think the idea of DRM-ing a freebie is an interesting idea, though.
