You have a Kobo Reader, you buy DRM free content from Amazon. Your Kobo won't be able to handle it. You don't use Calibre and you don't convert formats. What do you do? Not a lot as your Kobo will not work with this eBook.
You have a Kindle. Same rules apply about Calibre and conversion. You buy an a DRM free ePub eBook. Again screwed as your Kindle won't have anything to do with it.
So yes, people do buy the wrapper or they cannot use the eBook because the wrapper is then incompatible. You cannot ignore the wrapper and buy just for the content as that just doesn't work for a lot of people.
