DRM potentially inconveniences paying customers but does not stop piracy. So just what is the upside for authors and publishers?
As far as libraries go, that DRM doesn't stop piracy either.
Here's a question: If the same book were offered for sale with DRM a certain price, and without DRM for a slightly higher price, would you pay extra for the non-DRM book? I would pay a reasonable premium, just for the convenience.
