No, that's not the reason I remove DRM. I'm buying books from Amazon and reading them on a Kindle. The reason I remove DRM is:
1. To make it easier to transfer the book to a new Kindle when I upgrade. (I really don't want to have to download 4000+ books from Amazon again!)
2. To allow me to make changes to the book. Many books have inconsistent metadata and poor formatting, and I can't edit them while they have DRM.
I struggle to see how doing that is hurting anyone.
