I can't understand how a company can think that it is a good idea to make their products unusable, for those who were routinely buying from them.

DRM on sales is a publisher's choice. Many publishers choose to go DRM-Free. Others don't.
Ever tighter DRM is an ongoing demand of the big publishers.
On the other hand, since Kindle Unlimited is big business by now, Amazon *needs* tighter, "unbreakable" DRM on those titles to prevent the unscrupulous from checking out and DeDRM'ing titles by the hundred.
Add them up and...
That is why we can't have nice things.
