@HarryT: I do agree with that. People never miss freedom of choice unless they want to explore the world outside of the walled garden. But as you wrote, most folks are satisfied inside the walls and may never have any needs that that aren't met by what's offered.
For me, though, it's mostly a matter of not being able (or willing) to go back to the garden after bumping into the walls and then breathing the outside air. I had purchased quite a few e-books from Apple's iBooks store. When I switched to e-ink readers and the DRM removal tools were discontinued, I experienced first-hand what it's like to not have full control over the books I had spent money on. In the end, I re-purchased those that were important to me and cleaned them. Still a lesson that cost me several hundreds of Euro.
