Why did i♥cabbages crack Amazon's DRM? Because it was there. Amazon's protections weren't cracked out of spite or moral outrage or chafing at walled gardens. It was cracked for the challenge of cracking it.
It doesn't matter if the "live DRM-free or die" crowd fades away. They're not the driving force behind the creation of DRM removal tools. It's those who perceive DRM to be a challenge: "Try to break me! I dare you!" If DRM exists then someone will accept the challenge and break it.
So. I'm not worried.
