Taking into consideration that not every ebook consumer is technically interested enough on these matters, exactly this switch-flipping might be the shit-hits-fan event leading to a webwide uproar and shitstorm needed for a change.
The amount of vote-with-your-wallet boycoteers and prepared DRM-removers is to small a subset of the customer base to provoke a change.
Maybe myriads of DRM-ignorant owners of older readers would be enough for building up a critical mass. This is why I wait for somebody pushing the big button.
