I still see a difference though between DRM that is removable with free open source software, and one you have to buy proprietary software for.

Perhaps. The flip side is that when someone doesn't get paid, they have a lot less motivation to continue supporting the product. Abandon ware can be quite an issue. So far, the company in question has done a good job of updating their product for changes in FairPlay. As you mentioned, Requiem stopped working a while back. They just didn't have the motivation to keep up with the changes in iTunes. To a great extent, we have been spoiled by Apprentice Alf and company. They are the exception rather than the rule.
There is a reason that the first thing that I do when I buy an ebook or movie is to remove the DRM.
