I never said that or even inferred it.
I was very specific about what I said, and not broad like you are stating.
i.e. making a device purchase that relied on DRM removal.
EDIT
If I buy my ebooks from Amazon, and DRM is no longer removable, then all my eggs were in one basket as far as a Kobo device is concerned. But with a Kindle device, it matters not whether I can remove the DRM or not, as I can still read them on it regardless. It is far more likely, that DRM could stop being bypassed, than any issue that makes buying ebooks from Amazon, remotely like all my eggs in one basket. The only exception, would be ebooks not available through Amazon, that did not come in a Kindle (or suitable for) format, that had DRM. For those few, I just read them on my Samsung tablet, with the appropriate store app.

Not at all. I own Nooks and Kobos and buy from Amazon who don't support either.

That ability could change any time.
Either due to Amazon or Alf or both.
In any case we are just going around in circles it seems to me.
My view isn't set in concrete, it is speculative.
P.S. Flog your horse all you like, that ain't gonna change the truth.
