Why would anyone need to strip the DRM in the first place? They don't own the ebook, they license it. Therefore, they can't strip the DRM. If the publisher wanted people to have DRM-free ebooks, then they would've provided them that way.
If someone strips the DRM from their Kindle book, converts the file to ePub, and then loads it to their Kobo, they have just deprived the publisher of a sale.
