deDRM is only an issue for a small sub group of readers. I feel that if deDRM is important to me, then I figure out a way to make it happen. If I need to have a mac at an older version of MacOS and have to keep my copy of kindle for Mac at an older version, then that's what I do.

Caveat, that only works as long as the book provider still supports old methods of acquiring books and encryption. As we can see, B&N has already pulled support for certain methods.
That's why I DeDRM almost immediately after purchase. You never know when Amazon/Kobo/Nook/Adobe will pull the plug and the old method will stop working. Ability to remove DRM is also the reason I buy physical Blu-ray instead of buying video on-demand.
