The point of buying a lossless format such as FLAC is not only the possibly increased listening experience, but for me, even more so, the option to convert to any other future lossless format without quality loss. With an MP3, this is impossible because the MP3 has already lost information.
With regard to DRM: If I can't own the media I pay for (be they physical or digital), then I'll not buy them. I'll buy games from GOG, but not from Steam. I'll buy music on CD (or as a FLAC file), but won't ever pay for a streaming subscription... and so on.
