I agree they are not interested, but the terminology that questions from them use suggests that it isn't irrelevant as soon as they get a second reading device or app.
Thus it is always (Amazon) "How can I transfer my books from xxx to my new yyy" betraying that they don't realise the encryption is per device.
Same when there is confusion between downloading via a computer and downloading to read on a computer.
If you are an author or publisher and get complaints that a certain book doesn't display right, but only on some models of reader you will soon start to demand standards and emulators.
